Notes

Buttermilk is one of those “special ingredients” that isn’t typically kept in most refrigerators. If you find yourself with leftover buttermilk after making these waffles, with no other plans for it, you can freeze it. To make your next batch of waffles even simpler, freeze the buttermilk in the exact quantity necessary to make this recipe.
