Tasty Tuesday - Buttermilk Citrus Waffles

Welcome to another week of Tasty Tuesday here at The Young'ns!

Please link up your recipe at the bottom of the page. You can post a link to a recipe on your blog or anywhere else. In the title of your link, please leave your name too (especially if it's not a blog post) so I know who it came from :)

Also, feel free to grab my Tasty Tuesday button, it's on the left side, near my other button.

My kids would both live on waffles if I would let them. Usually about once a month, I make a huge batch and freeze them. Then all I have to do in the morning is pop them in the toaster, and tada! Breakfast :)

This recipe can be modified to be just about any flavor. I've made them cinnamon-vanilla and just plain, but my most recent creation was citrus and boy, are they tasty! This quantity will make roughly 2 dozen waffles (at least in my waffle maker), but you can halve it if you like.

{Ingredients}

• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp sugar
• dash of True Lemon (or cinnamon or what-have-you)
• 4 cups buttermilk
• 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, melted
• 4 eggs
• 1 tsp orange extract (or vanilla)

{Directions}

• Preheat waffle maker as directed. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and true lemon.
• In another bowl, melt butter and add buttermilk, eggs, and orange extract. Combine with wet ingredients.
• Cook according to your waffle maker's directions (Mine is 1/2 cup batter for 2 waffles, cook for 2 minutes)
• After they're cooked, place on baking sheet in single or double layer and freeze overnight. Place in gallon bag after they're frozen to keep for a long time. Makes for a super-easy, kid- and parent-friendly breakfast. For people who care if their food is hot, like grown-ups, put in microwave for 30 seconds before toasting. If it's for the littles, they don't seem to care if there's a few spots that aren't quite hot :)
