Basic Buttermilk Waffles
"Rich and delicious, easy and satisfying; my favourite waffle recipe. No sugar, but you don't really miss it, especially when drizzled with syrup! And yes, one *tablespoon* of baking powder is correct! Cook time is per waffle in my iron. From the cookbook "Waffles, Flapjacks, Pancakes, Blintzes, Crepes, Frybread from Scandinavia and Around the World" compiled by Dianna Stevens."

This is a good basic waffle recipe, and you don't need any sugar to make it flavorful. I do think that beating the egg whites and then folding them into the batter would make these waffles lighter. -
Very tasty waffle!!! -
I ended up making 3 batches of these. My kids just kept eating them. I did thin the batter down with a little bit more buttermilk so the batter would fill the waffle iron. I also make extra for the freezer. This will more than likely be our first choice for waffles.

This is a really good recipe. I used 1/4 cup Lighter Bake instead of the 1/2 cup melted butter and they turned out great! When asked how they are, my five-year-old replied, "Delicious!" Next time I will try using 1 cup each of all-purpose flour and whole grain white flour to boost the nutrition a bit. I was able to make 6 (6" square) waffles from the recipe. -
This recipe is WONDERFUL !! Did not change a thing !!!

Smells great. I did do a few changes, just for our family. I did one cup white and one cup whole wheat flours. Then, instead of using butter/margarine, I added applesauce. Also put a little vanilla and freshly ground nutmeg and wheat bran. Excellent base recipe. So easy to fiddle with.

I work as a part-time nurse in our city's burn unit. In my spare time, I really enjoy browsing cookbooks, cooking magazines, and the web for recipes. I am always looking for new ways to combine common ingredients to mix things up a bit. I try to avoid recipes that call for bizarre or hard-to-get ingredients or require a special kitchen widget I will only use once. If someone were to give me something unusual, I certainly would give it a try! However, my husband and I are adventurous diners and are always willing to try something new at least twice (in case there was a problem the first time!) We enjoy everything from German to Japanese; we want to try Vietnamese next.
My husband and I own a Gold Wing motorcycle and love to travel in the warmer months. We also have three dogs: Roxy, who is a rather large (42 lb.) fox terrier cross (shown above, with me!), Shadow, who is pure-bred reverse-brindle boxer, and Maggie, a brindle boxer. They love it when "Mom" cooks because they know something yummy inevitably hits the floor!
