Recipe anecdote: This is hands-down our favorite waffle recipe. We’ve tweaked every waffle recipe we’ve ever read and finally came up with our own. The cake flour and buttermilk makes these waffles incredibly light and fluffy. With two small children who wake up early on the weekends, we’ve usually eaten breakfast before most “cute” breakfast places have opened their doors. As we’re off to our weekend activities with full bellies, we chuckle at the folks lined up for brunch at the neighborhood breakfast spots.
