My mom gave me my grandmother’s waffle recipe recently, so I dusted off my waffle maker that has rarely seen the light of day since we received it as a wedding gift over 13 years ago. I forgot how much I love waffles and these Buttermilk Waffles are fairly easy to make and are yummy for breakfast drizzled with your favorite syrup.
Make a double batch and store the cooked waffles in freezer bags after they have cooled. When ready to use, remove from the freezer and pop in a toaster oven or heat for a short time in the microwave.

Yum Kristia, I havent had breakfast yet, you just made me feel so hungry, do you make your own butter milk or buy it?
Hi Anita, The original recipe from my grandmother calls for just regular milk, but I had buttermilk on hand from another recipe that I wanted to use up. In a pinch, I’ve made my own: 1 tablespoon vinegar for every one cup of milk. allow to sit for 10 minutes.
