Restaurant Style Buttermilk Waffles

Golden brown waffles with crispy edges yet tender inside, doused with hot maple syrup will rival those of your favorite restaurant.

Although its fall, it's getting pretty chilly around here, and we even had rain. This weather makes me want to hunker down and enjoy a hot comforting breakfast of waffles, restaurant style!  You know the ones that are so tender but hold up well with crispy edges?  Yesssss, no floppy waffles here!

RESTAURANT STYLE BUTTERMILK WAFFLES

These waffles will rival even your favorite restaurant waffles. They are made with a (secret) ingredient that keeps them crispy on the edges yet tender in the middle! Yum!  Nothing fancy here, but that secret ingredient is cornstarch. Cornstarch added to the dry ingredients helps keep the edges crispy,  like you get from your favorite restaurant. 

Easy to pull together on the weekend and with excellent results.  Make sure to enjoy these waffles soon.  They freeze beautifully and can be re-heated in the toaster.  

Whether eaten warm with maple syrup, or with fresh berries and whipped cream, these waffles are a winner.  The tangy buttermilk give them so much flavor!  You can even use these as a dessert waffle with some ice cream, sliced bananas, and chocolate syrup or even caramel drizzled over the top.

Enjoy!
