• 2 cups flour

Prepare waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.

In a medium bowl either sift or stir with a wire whisk the first set of ingredients. Set aside. In a large or glass batter bowl, combine the second set of ingredients. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ones. Stir until combined. Ladle 1/2 to 3/4 cup of batter into waffle maker. Bake according to appliance directions.

I made my batter the night before and refrigerated it. I let it sit on the counter while the waffle maker was heating up.

I was able to make 6 waffles, but the first one wasn't all that great looking. The number of servings also depends on the size of your waffle maker.

*If you don't have buttermilk, add 2 tablespoons of white vinegar to a measuring cup. Fill the rest of it with milk to get 2 cups.
