Ammie's Buttermilk Waffles

Sunday morning waffles were a staple in our house growing up.  My mom always made them for us before church.  This recipe actually comes from her mom.  Ammie (the affectionate name we used instead of Grandma) got this recipe with her Sunbeam Mixmaster stand mixer which was a wedding gift back in 1948.  This recipe is sooo good that we are still using it 66 years later!  I know she would be proud to know that is the case. Although you are indulging a bit with this breakfast, it is SO good that I think the points are worth it!  Balance out your day with a lighter lunch and dinner.  The full recipe makes a lot of waffles, you can easily cut the recipe in half to only serve four!

Buttermilk is really the key to this recipe.  It makes sure the waffles aren't dry and it gives a homemade flavor that is just so good!
