I was worried the waffle maker would be one of my online shopping impulse buys, one of those I would regret, having only used it a few times and never again. But warm and freshly cooked buttermilk waffles from scratch, filling the house with the smell of browning butter- my oh my, I have hearts before my eyes. It was worth it.

They are also straightforward to make, with ingredients you are never without. Here, I whittled down the Buttermilk Waffle recipe from the Gourmet Cookbook so that it yields just enough for my family of 4.

With all the different ingredients, it normally takes a few minutes more to make the batter with this recipe than if you had bought a ready-made waffle mix. But this is the best waffle I have ever had. It’s so worth the extra 2 minutes. If you want the best waffle experience too, make this recipe using GOOD QUALITY BUTTER. Enjoy!
