Belgian Waffles
Recipe courtesy Wayne Harley Brachman, Retro Desserts, Harper Collins Publishers, 2000

2 cups cake flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 cup milk
2 eggs
1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
Nonstick vegetable spray for coating waffle iron

Preheat a waffle iron. In a large bowl, stir together the dry ingredients. Make a well in the center and add the buttermilk, milk, eggs, and melted butter. Mix together just until combined (DON'T OVERMIX THE BATTER!). The batter should look slightly lumpy.
Spray the waffle iron with the nonstick vegetable spray. Pour 1/2 cup of the batter or the amount recommended by the waffle-iron maker onto the waffle iron; bake as directed by the manufacturer.

*Substitutions -
1 cup cake flour - 1 cup all-purpose flour minus 2 tablespoons (I would use cake flour, I thought they tasted better)
1 cup buttermilk - 1 Tbls lemon juice and add regular milk to make 1 cup
