Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups chopped pecans
• 0 nonstick cooking spray or melted butter (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 4

Fold in the chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 5

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease it with nonstick cooking spray or melted butter.

Step 6

Scoop an appropriate amount of batter (typically about 1/2 to 2/3 cup, depending on your waffle iron size) onto the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, about 3-5 minutes per batch.

Step 7

Carefully remove the waffles using tongs or a fork and set them on a wire rack to keep them from getting soggy.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as needed between batches.

Step 9

Serve the waffles warm, topped with butter, maple syrup, or additional chopped pecans for garnish.
