Step 1
Heat your waffle iron on high heat until a drop of water sizzles and evaporates on contact, ~3 minutes.
Step 2
Whisk flour, baking powder, sugar, and a pinch of salt in a large bowl.
Step 3
Crack eggs into a second bowl, pour in buttermilk and melted butter, and whisk until combined.
Step 4
Pour wet into dry and fold gently with a spatula until just combined—lumps are okay, overworking makes dense waffles.
Step 5
Brush the waffle iron with a little butter, pour batter to the top, close, and cook until steam stops and the lid lifts easily, ~3 minutes.
Step 6
Slide the waffle onto a plate. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve hot with toppings of your choice.
