The Best Homemade Waffles and Buttermilk Syrup

To contact us Click HERE
Every weekend my boys beg me to make a homemade breakfast for them. 9 out of 10 times they ask for waffles. I'm so cheap and I hate buying pre-made pancake mix so end up making this waffle recipe and they LOVE it! This syrup is always on hand and guess what? I don't even buy syrup at the store anymore! It's nice to save a little dough and make something from scratch that tastes SO. MUCH. BETTER.

This weekend is a big weekend for members of my church. There is a big broadcast twice a year in which we get to hear wonderful words spoken by some amazing members of our church. It's so inspirational and I look forward to those two weekends all year long! I LOVE making a homemade breakfast for my family and then sitting around the computer watching the talks and eating together. I'll be making these waffles for my family this weekend! :) What's your favorite breakfast food??

Directions:

1. Combine the sugar, butter and *buttermilk together in a medium size pot (see picture below).

*if you don't happen to have buttermilk on hand - which I almost never do - mix 1/2 cup milk with 1/2 Tbsp of lemon juice or vinegar and let sit for 5 minutes to create your own buttermilk.
