My father-in-law lived with us for almost twenty years and his favourite breakfast on Sunday mornings was waffles with sausages or bacon.
Brett’s Wonderful Waffles are a made from scratch buttermilk based waffle recipe, tender, light and crisp when baked.
Over the years, we have acquired a couple of Mickey Mouse waffle irons, a heart shaped waffle iron and several Belgian style waffle irons.
The waffle in the picture has been cooked on a Belgian style waffle maker and has been topped with a combination of strawberries and blueberries.
Delicious!
Brett’s Wonderful Waffles
Print recipe| Serves | 8 - 10 large waffles |
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 2 Cups buttermilk
- 2 Cups all purpose flour
- 2 Tsp baking powder
- 1 Tsp baking soda
- 1/2 Tsp salt
- 1/4 Cup plus 2 tbsp vegetable oil
Directions
| Heat waffle iron | |
| Beat eggs; beat in remaining ingredients with whisk until smooth. Let the batter sit for at least 10 minutes to let the flour expand. | |
|
Pour batter from cup onto centre of hot waffle iron. Bake until light goes out or steaming stops.(when the waffle iron is hot, it takes just a couple of minutes) If the batter is a little thick to pour, then thin it with a little buttermilk.  | |
| Serve with syrup, butter(if desired) and/or fresh fruit. | |
| Variation - No Buttermilk on Hand? | |
| To substitute milk for buttermilk, separate the eggs, beating egg whites until stiff; increase baking powder to 4 tsp; omit soda and fold egg whites into batter. | |
