‘Tis the season to be jolly!

There is something about Christmas that brings in a feeling of calm and relaxation. We look back at our accomplishments and failures for the year. Every December, we rest our old baggage and look forward to the new year. The cookies and Christmas cheer also help! 

Fluffier Waffles with Buttermilk

I worked on a shopping list for recipes I was going to make for Christmas when I realized I had a ton of buttermilk that wouldn’t make it to the end of the year. I needed to use it up ASAP. The recipes that instantly came to my mind were waffles and pancakes. I opted to make the waffles. This would be a good opportunity to use my waffle iron which is used only a few times every year. I threw in some chocolate chips to the mix. If you are doing it, you must do it right! What do you say?!!

Notes:

• The softened butter has to be added in small pieces before mixing. This will allow it to melt and cook the waffles evenly.
• The batter can look lumpy after adding the butter. That is ok. The butter will melt when cooking the waffles. 
• Each waffle iron maker cooks differently. Cook for a minimum of 2 minutes to allow the batter to cook.
