Buttermilk Waffles

Buttermilk Waffles
Yield:   About 8 5-inch square waffles or 4 large waffles
Cook Time:   4-7 minutes
Tips:   Optional garnishes: Syrup, powdered sugar, whipped cream, fruits and fruit sauces. (See recipe for more ideas.)
Suggestion:   Delicious served with fresh fruit, such as sliced bananas, strawberries and/or blue- berries. Also great with a side of bacon and/or sausage.
Buttermilk waffles are wonderful, because the buttermilk adds a unique flavor of its own that balances the sweetness that comes from the syrup, powdered sugar or whatever topping you
choose to indulge in. Buttermilk also has a creaminess that gives these waffles a nice texture. You can use any type of waffle iron for this recipe (and there are plenty styles out there), whether it be square, round, heart-shaped or Belgian style, as shown in the above photo.

Buttermilk waffles do not take long to make, as the ingredients are quickly mixed in the blender, and in about only 5 minutes, you'll have a hot, crispy and golden brown breakfast that serves 4-8 people, depending on appetites and what else you might be serving with the waffles (eggs, bacon or sausage, fruit, etc.). Another terrific aspect of these waffles is that any left-over waffle batter can be stored in the refrigerator until the buttermilk's expiration date, and you can easily make fresh, cooked waffles in less than 10 minutes any morning until the batter is gone!
