Happy New Year!
What a holiday, so much food!! I’m still lingering in pj’s these days. Thankfully I’m not back to the real world and work until after the weekend. I made these waffles on Christmas morning for my family and parents. We froze the rest and have been enjoying them quickly warmed up with the easiest berry compote. Whipped cream and powdered sugar too!
The waffles are really easy to make and I always like to have the dry ingredients mixed up the night before to save some time in the morning. While they’re in the waffle iron I just grab a bag of frozen fruit, some sugar and a splash of water and create the prettiest topping!

Notes
I often double the waffle recipe and freeze half of them once cooked and cooled. To reheat I microwave them for about 30 seconds first before toasting so they don't get too dark.
How much buttermilk please??
2 cups. Thanks for the heads up on this.
