Waffle Ice Cream Sandwiches

Cook's Notes:Sandwich homemade (or store-bought!) waffles with ice cream and roll in colorful sprinkles. Need I say more for a winning kid-friendly treat. Bonus save extra waffles for breakfast. Recipe makes 8 servings.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
• 2 large eggs
• 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, melted
• 2 pints  vanilla ice cream, softened or another favorite
• Multicolored sprinkles, for coating

Directions:

• Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Whisk together buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter in a separate bowl. Add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture, and stir just until incorporated.
• Heat a round waffle iron. Spoon a heaping 1/2 cup of batter onto waffle iron and cook until light golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
• Scoop ice cream onto half of the waffles, spreading evenly. Sandwich with remaining waffles, gently pushing ice cream out to the edges. Coat edges in sprinkles. Freeze until firm, 4 hours and up to 2 days. Cut each waffle into 4 triangles just before serving.
