Homemade buttermilk waffles with ripe berries and fresh whipped topping is our new go-to breakfast recipe. The kids absolutely love it and it’s a quick and easy recipe they can help prepare.
This year I didn’t plan to be homeschooling three kids, working from home, and cancelling all our spring and summer plans. While this year has certainly had its stressful moments, I’ve come to cherish the slower pace of life. With no rush to make it to school or sports and music practices, we’ve found ourselves enjoying the simple things in life – food, family, and togetherness.
One of my favorite things to do since we’ve been home, and not pressed for time to make it to school or work, is to cook breakfast together. My kids love waffles, but they especially love buttermilk waffles. Hiland Dairy buttermilk is the secret ingredient in this recipe, adding incredible fluffiness to the waffles. It only takes a few extra minutes to make the batter from scratch and it’s so worth it.
Skip the maple syrup and top these buttermilk waffles with fresh fruit and homemade whipped topping. (If you have a stand mixer and Hiland Dairy heaving whipping cream, you can make whipped topping in just a few minutes.) The subtle sweetness in the waffles pair perfectly with these toppings. Plus, everyone get an extra serving of fruit in the morning.
My kids are enjoying the weekday breakfasts, baking treats with mom, and sharing more meals together. The slower pace of life has allowed us more time to connect with great food and conversation. Try this waffle recipe for a breakfast treat your whole family will love and don’t forget the chocolate milk!
