    Fresh homemade buttermilk waffles are an absolute treat for breakfast, brunch or even dessert! Simply served with syrup or on a platter with fresh berries, cara cara oranges, thick cut bacon, fried eggs and local maple syrup. These waffles are sure to please the young and the young at heart.

    I don’t make them often, so when I do, I make a double batch. They freeze really well, so just pop a couple in the toaster for a super quick breakfast.

    Ingredients
      

    • 3 large eggs separated‬‬
    • 1¾ cup buttermilk‬‬
    • ½ cup no salt butter, melted‬‬ (1 stick)‬‬
    • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract‬‬
    • 1¾ cups flour‬‬
