I LOVE a good waffle! These are super easy to make, perfect if you’re just starting out using freshly milled wheat.
I highly suggest you make these waffles and immediately serve them to keep them crispy on the outside.
All you need for waffles is a good waffle maker and I am loving my Cuisinart Double Belgian waffle maker I got from Pleasant Hill Grain. It is perfect for my large family.
This recipe makes about 10-12 large waffles for my waffle iron. The amount of waffles you make can depend on what size waffle maker/iron you are using.
Batter can be made in advance! Waffles could also be frozen after cooked, but I have never done this. I see no reason to think why it wouldn’t be fine so long as the waffles are completely cooled before freezing.
Waffles with 100% Freshly Milled Wheat
Equipment
- 1 Waffle maker
Ingredients
- 3 cups freshly milled flour mill about 2 cups of wheat berries to produce about 3 cups of flour. see notes for wheat suggestions!
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup oil I suggest a mild oil like peanut oil
- 3-4 cups cultured buttermilk see video and notes about how much buttermilk to add
- 4 eggs large
Instructions
- Preheat waffle maker or iron
- Mill your wheat into typical fine flour like you use for baking bread
- Combine flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Whisk together to make sure there are no lumps in the baking soda or baking powder.
- Add eggs and oil. Start mixing and gradually add in cultured buttermilk until the batter resembles typical pancake batter or slightly thicker cake batter. See video for visual instruction.
- Using whatever measurement your waffle maker/iron state to use, scoop batter onto waffle maker/iron and cook per manufacturer instructions to your desired "done" level.
- Remove when done and ENJOY!

These are amazingly delicious! My family agrees.
WOW. This is one of the most successful recipes I’ve tried using fresh milled flour!!! So tasty!!! Keep these good recipes coming!
delicious waffles with left overs to use with peanut butter for lunch!
Very good waffle batter!
These are good but I’ve made them about 3 times and every time I have to add way more flour. I think the ratio should be more like 2 cups buttermilk and 4 cups flour or something. The ratio as written just doesn’t seem right unless the batter is supposed to be very very thin?
Not super thin like water, but a typical pancake/waffle batter. The amount of liquid very much depends on what type of freshly milled flour you are using! Many times I don’t actually measure my liquid, I just add it until it reaches the consistency I need.
After much searching and trying different bread recipes, this is my favorite. Everyone loves it!!
Finally a recipe I don’t have to double! Also absolutely delicious!
I made these waffles with 3/4 hard white and 1/4 einkorn. They were perfect!
First time using soft wheat. Used 1 1/2 cups milled soft wheat and 1/2 cup milled eikhorn.
Also 2 cups lactose free milk with 2 tablespoons vinegar.
These took much shorter time to cook than Krustaez waffles.
Delicious!!!
Love these made with spelt! Perfect waffles!
This recipe was great and the whole family loved it! I used half hard white and half soft white berries. The texture was a perfect crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
I’ve tried a few freshly milled waffle recipes and this one is my favorite! Thank you so much!
This is a great base recipe!!! I used FM Einkorn and they turned out wonderful. Definitely have to add more liquid than the recipe called for but that’s einkorn for ya. (which I did a combo of milk and yogurt) We like to add lemon zest, blueberries, cinnamon, nutmeg, a tablespoon of honey and almond extract. I also used butter as the oil and I browned it a bit which just adds so much. I recommend tasting a small bit of the batter pre cooking to make sure it has enough salt and if you need to add anything else. Thank you for your great recipes for those who want to serve their families the most nutritious food possible!
Thank you so much! I love this recipe and i am fairly new to fmg. Also, they freeze beautifully! Makes my weekday mornings so much easier with toddler and a baby!
I don’t have buttermilk, but I have yogurt! Can I mix it with regular milk?…if yes, ideas on how much of each?
Can yogurt whey be used 1:1 of the buttermilk?
I honestly have no idea ha If you don’t have buttermilk, I would think regular milk or milk with 1 TB of vinegar added per 1 cup of milk would do well. Try the yogurt at a 1:1 ratio and see how that works too!
Felicia! This recipe is perfect! After trying many recipes over the years, this one is exactly how I like my waffles. They were not sweet, making me feel gross after eating them, and crispy. This is my go to recipe, finally!
