Mom’s Best Waffles

From the recipe box of travel writer Carole Terwilliger Meyers.

Mom is gone now, but we can still enjoy her delicious waffles. She “healthied” them up by adding oat bran. My husband is the weekend breakfast cook in our house, and he makes these waffles regularly. Usually there are some left over, which he freezes and pulls out as needed to refresh in the toaster.

1½ cup unbleached white flour
½ cup oat bran
1 tsp. baking powder
salt to taste
                Mix together.

2 cups buttermilk
1 tsp. baking soda
2 eggs, whisked
3 Tbl. vegetable oil (I use olive oil)
                Mix together. Add to first mix.

1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
                Add to mix.

Cook in hot waffle iron. Serve with syrup.

Serves 4.
