Wonderful Waffles

Hello CuisineArt Waffle Iron! 
(another bonus to our recent addition!)

Meet Alton Brown's Waffle Recipe!

4 3/4 ounces all-purpose flour, approximately 1 cup
4 3/4 ounces whole-wheat flour, approximately 1 cup
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sugar
3 whole eggs, beaten
2 ounces unsalted butter, melted
16 ounces buttermilk, room temperature (you could use the powdered kind as an alternative)
Vegetable spray, for waffle iron

Directions
Preheat waffle iron according to manufacturer's directions.

In a medium bowl whisk together the flours, soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar. In another bowl beat together eggs and melted butter, and then add the buttermilk. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until combined. Allow to rest for 5 minutes.

Ladle the recommended amount of waffle batter onto the iron according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Close iron top and cook until the waffle is golden on both sides and is easily removed from iron. Serve immediately or keep warm in a 200 degree F oven until ready to serve.

I am not a huge waffle fan typically but let me just say these are completely to die for scrumptious!  I made a double batch so I could freeze them and save money my MIL was spending on Eggos.  I added some wheat germ because I had some and some of the reviewers said they had so I thought I would go for it.  Some reviewers had mentioned also adding flaxseed and other wholesome goodness.  I also added mini choc chips by sprinkling them on top of the batter once I had ladled it onto the iron.  I can't wait for tomorrow's breakfast!
