Soft Buttermilk Waffles Recipe

You can make big batches of these waffles to keep in the freezer. At our house, the soft, fluffy waffles are stored for morning cravings or afternoon snacks. When the steam stops coming out of the waffle maker, the waffles are ready.

The waffles can be frozen for up to 2 months by placing sheets of wax paper in between each one and sealing them in a resealable plastic freezer bag. Place the frozen waffles directly in the toaster for 2 to 3 minutes, or until toasted and lightly browned. Then top with butter, syrup, more butter, more syrup. You get the idea...
