Waffles and Buttermilk Syrup

We have breakfast for dinner every Saturday!

This week we had waffles and buttermilk syrup.

For the waffles:

With an electric mixer, beat 2 egg whites until stiff. Set aside.

Put the 2 egg yokes in a large bowl and whisk. To this add 2 1/4 cups of buttermilk (I don't ever have buttermilk so all I do is measure out the milk and add about 1 teaspoon of vinegar and let sit for a couple of minutes.) and 1/2 cup oil. Whisk together. Add 1 3/4 cups of flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix together until the big lumps are gone. Next, fold in the egg whites.

For the buttermilk syrup (aka the best syrup in the world):

In a large saucepan add 1 stick of butter, 1 cup of sugar, and 3/4 cup of buttermilk. Bring to a boil. Once it begins to boil, let it boil for 1 minute. 

Remove from heat and add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Whisk.

We served the waffles with buttermilk syrup, raspberries, whipped cream, and tater tots. We also had our yummy citrus drink. It was to die for!

Happy Eating!
