Great waffles recipe!

Homemade waffles make getting out of bed early worth the effort! I like all kinds of waffles, and this an easy buttermilk waffle recipe. For the best results, use whole buttermilk.

Also, you can use melted butter or margarine in place of the shortening, if you wish.

Actually, the original recipe called these “griddle cakes,” but I wasn’t sure anyone outside the Deep South would know that term now, so I’m just calling them pancakes.

  • 2 cups flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons shortening
  • 1 cup buttermilk, chilled

This is one of my favorite biscuit recipes. Be sure not to knead the dough too much – less is better in this case. It may be a little lumpy, but that is all to the good. Hmm hmm – serve this with sausage gravy and fried eggs for an early but happy heart attack.
