Best Ever Buttermilk Waffles

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Step 2

Add butter, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and egg yolks and whisk together. Do not over mix.

Step 3

Whisk the egg whites on high speed in the bowl of an electric mixer until peaks form. Fold the whisked egg whites into the waffle batter, being careful not to deflate.

Step 4

Preheat the waffle baker. When ready, scoop about 1 cup (depending on the size of the waffle baker) and bake for 3 to 3 1/2 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 5

Add all ingredients to a small saucepan, and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Bring to a gentle boil for one minute or until sauce begins to thicken slightly, stirring constantly, and then reduce heat to low until ready to serve. If the sauce becomes to thick, you can add more orange juice by the tablespoon to thin.

Step 6

In the bowl of an electric mixer, whisk heavy cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract low speed. As the cream thickens, increase the speed gradually. Whisk on high speed until soft peaks form, about 2-4 minutes.
