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.
