For Gina: My waffle recipe

These are what get me up some mornings…the perfect blend of tang and sweet and soft and crisp. They are what most waffles dream of being when they grow up! They are the epitome of waffledom. Just to cover my britches, I think that great-grandma’s waffle iron has something to do with my turnout…they are consistantly SUBLIME. But I know the recipe has a good deal to do as well. If you have good ingredients, it’s nearly impossible to make bad food!

I don’t measure, so these are approximate:

2 c. flour
1 t. each: baking soda, baking powder, and salt
1 T. sugar
mix that well and add:
2 eggs
1t. vanilla
as much buttermilk as you need to make a good, liquidy-but-not-runny batter. Don’t make buttermilk with milk and lemon…get the real stuff. We go through a half gallon a week between waffles, pancakes, biscuits, and the occassional batch of cookies! Buttermilk makes it ALL better!

In my not so humble opinion, salted, real cream butter and pure maple syrup are the only way to eat these. My kids like them with everything from fried chicken and gravy to berries and cream. But most often, they are puddled with little drops of heavenly gold butter and maple syrup.

I’ve been contemplating what rum would be like in a syrup on waffles. Might try it this week!
