THE BEST BUTTERMILK WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs and vanilla. Whisk the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture until a batter is formed. Whisk in the butter until incorporated, being careful not to overmix the batter.
• Spray both sides of the preheated waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray. Pour in enough batter to lightly cover the surface of the iron, about 1/3 to 3/4 cup, depending on its size. (Take into consideration that the batter will spread once the lid is closed.) Close the iron and cook until the waffles are a deep golden brown and slightly crisp, about 5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter. (If the waffle iron has a well-seasoned or nonstick surface, it may not be necessary to spray it between each batch.)
• Serve the waffles immediately with butter, syrup, jam, berries or yogurt.

• In a cup mix 1 tbsp ground flaxseeds with 2 tbsp water to make a "flax egg" and let it sit to thicken.
• In another dish, mix 1.5 cups soy milk, 1.5 tsp white vinegar, and 2 tsp vanilla extract. Let sit.
• Mash banana until smooth.
• Mix all the liquid ingredients (banana, flax egg, soy milk mixture). Whisk well.
• Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly for about 20 seconds. The batter should be fairly thick, thicker than cake batter. Let sit for 30 seconds.
• Scoop 1/3 cup of batter (or adjust according to the size of your waffle maker) and add to hot, lightly oiled waffle maker. Make sure not to overfill the waffle maker.
• Close the waffle maker and cook for 4 - 6 minutes or until waffles are golden brown and cooked through.
• Oil the maker and allow it to preheat again before adding more batter to make the next batch of waffles. Repeat until all the batter is used up.
