Ree recommends adding buttermilk to batter for superior waffles and pancakes. And another tip is that the batter keeps in the fridge for up to 2 days, so you can spread the joy over several meals.
NEW: You can now switch to Cook Mode to keep your screen awake.
Directions
Special equipment:
a waffle iron
For the waffles: Preheat a waffle iron on medium-high.
In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, buttermilk, butter and brown sugar. Fold in the flour and salt. For a fluffier waffle, let the batter rest for 8 to 10 minutes before starting to cook.
For the brown sugar syrup: Combine the brown sugar, vanilla bean paste and 1 cup water in a skillet over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and let thicken slightly, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the cold butter. Set aside.
Spray the waffle iron with the cooking spray. Add 1/2 cup batter to each waffle compartment. Close the lid and cook until deep golden and crisp, 3 to 6 minutes, depending on your waffle iron. Remove and repeat until all the batter is used.
Serve the waffles with pats of softened butter. Pour over the warm brown sugar syrup and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
