These Lemon Sour Cream Waffles are light, fluffy, and bursting with citrusy freshness. The sour cream adds richness and tenderness, while the lemon zest provides a bright, refreshing flavor—perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a cheerful weekend treat.

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup white whole wheat flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

3 tablespoons sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

Zest from 2 lemons

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

2 eggs

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 cup sour cream (regular or low-fat)

1/2 cup milk

Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, white whole wheat flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  3. Add lemon zest and stir to distribute evenly.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together eggs, lemon juice, vanilla extract, melted butter, sour cream, and milk until smooth.
  5. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Scoop enough batter into the preheated waffle iron to cover the surface and close the lid.
  7. Cook until golden brown and crisp, about 3–5 minutes depending on your waffle maker.
  8. Remove waffles carefully and keep warm in a low oven while cooking remaining batter.
  9. Serve warm with butter, syrup, lemon curd, or fresh berries.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter—slight lumps ensure fluffy waffles.

Keep waffles warm and crisp on a wire rack in a 200°F oven.

Fold in blueberries, raspberries, or poppy seeds for variation.

Greek yogurt can be used instead of sour cream for a similar tang.

Leftover waffles can be frozen and reheated directly from frozen in a toaster.
