Buttermilk Breakfast

Rachel Zackrison's buttermilk waffle recipe has become a hit at our home. They can be made into waffles or pancakes.
2 c. flour

2 T. sugar

2 t. baking powder

1/2 t. salt

1 t. baking soda

2 c. buttermilk

1/2 c. milk

2 eggs

1/4 c. butter, melted (i think they're a bit greasy, so I cut back a smidgen on the butter here)

Combine the dry ingredients. Combine the wet ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir together until moist. It'll still be thick and a little lumpy. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes giving the buttermilk and baking soda time to mix and react. It'll be a little bubbly and frothy when the time is up.

A delicious syrup to top 'em is:
1 c sugar

½ buttermilk

¼ c butter

½ tsp baking soda

1 tsp vanilla

Heat sugar, buttermilk, and butter to a boil. Boil 1 minute. Remove from heat. Add vanilla and baking soda (it will foam up then calm down). Stir well.

But on Saturday, we all had our choice of toppings, as we are working on cleaning out the fridge before we move next week. Daddy prefers good ol' maple, James loves the buttermilk and Sissy is a girl after my own heart: strawberries 'n whipped cream. Anna takes what she can get and gobbles it down. Yummm.
