Weekend Buttermilk Waffles

There’s nothing like buttermilk waffles that are perfectly crispy on the outside, light and airy inside, and full of flavor all around.

I’m not sure if you know this about me, but breakfast is my favorite meal.  With waffles, pancakes and french toast topping that list of breakfast favorites.

A few weeks ago I was making our favorite weekend buttermilk waffles and I realized I had never shared the recipe with you.  While these buttermilk waffles are good any time of year, any day of the week – there is something extra special about enjoying them on a snowy weekend when it’s cold, the fire is going and you are in your pajamas all day. 😉 

Homemade waffles are a great treat and I have no problem using a baking mix but honestly, making buttermilk waffles from scratch is just as simple, you probably even have all of the ingredients you need in your pantry.

I will say this is one of those recipes that is better if you use real buttermilk as opposed to substituting with milk and vinegar.  I picked up buttermilk at the store knowing I could use it when I made Cinnamon Bread and planned on making waffles a few days as well.

These buttermilk waffles yield delightfully crisp edges, golden brown on the outside with soft, tender centers that are light as air on the inside.
