Buttermilk Waffles

When I was a senior in high school I was FINALLY able to do what I had wanted to do for several years: take electives. Between band and the required ASL, science, and PE, I didn't have time in my schedule for any class that wasn't a basic requirement (English, math, social studies/history). But since science and PE were only required for a certain number of years and not enough students signed up for 3rd Year ASL, I had room for two classes each semester that could be WHATEVER I WANTED. (Apparently this ended up being step 1 to my current state of independence.)

One such class was creative cooking. It covered 5 courses: Breakfast, Appetizers, Main Dishes, Side Dishes, and Desserts (I'll give you one guess which one was my favorite 😏). For most units/courses we were given two recipes and each group picked the recipe we would make. As the class went on, we compiled all the recipes in a binder for future use (and, obviously, our final grade). In the 14 years since I've probably only made one recipe from it: Buttermilk Waffles. These things basically taste like the Eggo© Cinnamon Toast Waffles in the grocery store freezer section. They're a bit time-consuming to make but so worth it! After making it several times for Sunday morning breakfast since moving into my apartment, I figured I should share the recipe.
