Vanilla Buttermilk Waffles

 

Weekend breakfasts at 11 a.m. in our jammies isn't complete without Vanilla Pecan Waffles, hot off the waffle iron. I like to ladle them onto the iron right in front of a
hungry audience and watch their faces light-up with anticipation as the steam rises and aromas of vanilla + toasted pecans fill the kitchen.

Freshly squeezed orange juice and fruit salad with Poppy Seed Dressing pairs well with these delicious waffles!
