How to Make these Delicious Waffles
When you have strawberries like this staring you in the face and nearly a full quart of buttermilk in the fridge you don't want to go to waste, it's time to bust out the waffle maker. It's a simple waffle batter laced with cinnamon and some chopped strawberries folded in. I used white whole wheat flour as the base for a little more nutritional kick. However, all-purpose or whole wheat flour can be substituted.
These are the remaining four waffles I had to guard over in order to have something to photograph. My gang polished off the other eight as soon as they came off the waffle iron. And mind you, I only had one stolen bite off my husband's plate at this point.
The good news is I got to delve into this stack once the shoot was a wrap. Whoohoo! Serve with maple syrup, strawberry jam and a dusting of powdered sugar, or dig in just as is. These Strawberry Shortcake Buttermilk Waffles will be a treat for all! xx, Kim

These waffles look and sound fabulous Kim - no wonder they disappeared fast (I'm glad you've managed some beautiful shots though.) I've never folded fruit/berries into waffles, so I'm digging this lovely ideas along with this maple-infused cream!
