Equipment

Ingredients

1 cup milk or water, or non dairy milk of choice*
2 Tablespoons lemon juice juice from 1 lemon
3 Tablespoons canola oil or other mild cooking oil like grapeseed, vegetable or coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract optional
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 Tablespoons baking powder make sure your baking powder doesn't contain aluminum, see note
3 Tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

In a bowl combine milk and lemon juice and let sit for 5 minutes (this is essentially creating buttermilk, you could use buttermilk instead of this step). After 5 minutes add in canola oil, vanilla extract and almond extract (if using.)
In another bowl combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and lemon zest, stir to combine.
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients, stir, and let sit for 5 minutes (let the baking powder do it's thing - the mixture thickens up a bit and bubbles a little.)
Warm waffle iron according to manufacture directions. I have this waffle iron and love it so much!
Spray heated waffle iron with cooking spray and spoon batter into waffle iron, cook until done (mine is about 5 minutes). Repeat until all waffles are made.

Notes

*depending on what type of liquid you use, you may have to add a little extra liquid for the batter if the batter is too thick. For example, if you use whole milk, use an additional tablespoon to 1/4 cup water, or if you use a thicker milk (like buttermilk) you may need to use a little extra liquid.

**check to make sure your baking powder doesn't contain any aluminum in the ingredient list. Sometimes they add aluminum in the form of sodium aluminum phosphate and/or sodium aluminum sulfate – it’s sometimes added to double-acting baking powder to make it heat sensitive. Aluminum in baking powder is not harmful, but it can leave a slightly metallic and bitter taste in your mouth.
