- 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour

- Sift all dry ingredients into mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients over dry ingredients and stir just until combined.
- Pour waffle batter on preheated waffle iron and cook until the waffles are a deep golden brown, approximately 4-5 minutes (the cooking time may vary depending upon your waffle iron). Serve with butter, maple syrup and whipped cream, if desired.
- Freeze any leftover waffles and reheat in the toaster for a quick breakfast on another morning.

These waffles have been a favorite in our house ever since misscrys79 put the recipe in the cookbook of our local mothers' group. The kids are wild for them and all guests ask for the recipe. Sometimes I use all plain milk if I don't have the buttermilk around which works just fine. Do make a double batch of these to freeze for future breakfasts. You can reheat several in the oven or just one or two in the toaster in no time at all. The wonderful pumpkin spice smell lingers in the air for some time after you make them. Pure happiness!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am originally from the Pacific Northwest but was transplanted to the east coast when my hubby went back to school to get his Ph.D. My husband and I are parents to two boys that we fondly refer to as "Search & Destroy" and our golden retriever, Sydney. I'm a stay-at-home mom and have just started homeschooling our children.
I L-O-V-E to cook and bake. Honestly, I think I pretty much always have--it is something I inherited from my mom. :) She is the one who taught me to not be afraid to make a recipe, and when I'm not sure what a term means, to look it up (or ask someone who knows to talk me through it). My friends Lisa, Sharon and Shannon have also taught me a lot too (you'll see a few recipes that I've posted that I have received from these lovely ladies). And, I'd say that my experience as a prep cook for a brew pub in college taught me quite a bit too. :)
I also like to make jam, to bake my own fresh loaves of whole wheat bread from flour that I have ground myself, and to preserve fruits and vegetables like my Grams taught me. Gardening is a new-found hobby of mine, and preparing foods with fresh fruits that I have harvested is so rewarding!
I love my Oregon Ducks and am a proud alumnae of the University of Oregon.
When we have a ladies' event at my church, I'm generally involved in the food aspect, in one way or another. The recipes I'm best-known for are my dessert recipes.
