Buttermilk Waffles

I found this when I was searching for a waffle recipe that would call for a larger quantity of buttermilk than is found in some other recipes I found here. These waffles have a nice twang from the buttermilk. The recipe stated that it makes 12 4-inch Belgian waffles....I got 12 7-8 inch waffles from it. From Gourmet Cookbook.
