A Creative Twist to Buttermilk Waffles

Starting the day with a twist to Buttermilk Waffles.

I had family visiting this past weekend. I made the waffles and my brother got creative with the presentation. One sausage link sliced was perfect for the eyebrows. 

Cook's Notes: These classic buttermilk waffles are easy to make and come out fluffy and crisp each and every time. It’s a must-have recipe for turning an ordinary morning into something extra-special
Cooking Tip: To crisp up leftover waffles, toast each quarter.
The recipe makes 6-7 waffles and was adapted from Taste of Home.
Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 large eggs, room temperature
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• Optional toppings include: chopped pecans, fruits, yogurt 

Directions:

• In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, cinnamon, and salt; set aside.
• In a large bowl, beat eggs until light. Add buttermilk; mix well. Add dry ingredients and beat until the batter is smooth. Stir in butter.
