BUTTERMILK WAFFLES

½ cup butter                                    4 eggs

2 ½ cups flour                                  2 - 2 ½ cups buttermilk

1 tsp. Baking soda                          1 ½ tsp. vanilla

2 ½ tsp. Baking powder                  2 TBSP sugar

Melt & cool butter.  Sift dry ingredients.  Beat eggs.  Add 2 cups buttermilk and vanilla.  Add additional buttermilk to get desired consistency.  Add to dry ingredients, beating at medium speed until smooth.  Blend in melted butter.  Bake in waffle iron.

*Sometimes I substitute applesauce for the butter.  Or vegetable oil if I don't have butter.
