Best Ever Buttermilk Waffles

Kaykwilts's Note:

I purchased a waffle maker at a thrift shop for a dollar. My daughter wanted me to make waffles so I told her to find me a recipe in one of my many cookbooks. She found this one in American Cooking. These are very light and wonderful tasting and can easily be frozen.

unbelievable. We loved it - definately a default recipe. I did add 2 T of sugar and 1T of vanilla. The 2nd time I made it I substituted 1/4c of wheat flour. It was still great!

I have been trying so many waffle recipes and THIS ONE IS THE WINNER! I do add some sugar and vanilla extract. I love to sprinkle powdered sugar on them before serving...SO GOOD..Oh and they cook nice and crispy!!!!
