Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
In a large bowl, measure and mix together: 1 cup whole-wheat pastry flour, 1 cup mixed whole-grain flours (such as whole wheat, spelt, cornmeal, rye, or buckwheat), 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon sugar (optional).
Step 2
In a large measuring cup, measure: 2 cups buttermilk.
Step 3
Whisk in thoroughly: 3 eggs.
Step 4
Pour the buttermilk and egg mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just mixed. Pour in: 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, melted and stir until well mixed. If necessary, thin with more buttermilk: the batter should pour off the spoon. Cook in a preheated waffle iron until crisp and golden.
Variation
Step 5
To make waffles with regular milk, increase the baking powder to 2 1/2 teaspoons and omit the baking soda.
