Waffles are a big hit in our house whether we have them on the weekends or grab one going out the door to school. The crispy outside and tender inside make them the perfect breakfast. I’ve tried many waffle recipes over the years, but I feel the addition of buttermilk gives them an added touch of deliciousness. You can even flavor these with cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice or cocoa. This waffle recipe is very versatile and they freeze well too; just make sure they are completely cooled. Then during the week, all you have to do is pull them from the freezer, heat them up, and enjoy!
