The Inn at Manchester Waffles

Waffle topped with blueberries, raspberries, blackberries and whipped cream

These are, by a long shot, the best waffles I have ever had (and I'm basically a waffle expert, thank you very much). If you don't trust me, at least trust the many people I have made them for that absolutely love them. The best thing about these waffles, is that they can go with so many different things. They are fantastic with good old-fashioned maple syrup, coconut syrup, berry syrup, peaches and whipped cream, berries and whipped cream, berry puree, honey butter, etc. Be creative!

*The plain Greek yogurt can be replaced by sour cream, I just prefer the protein-packed yogurt.

*If you find yourself without buttermilk, don't panic! Just pour 3/4 cup of 2% milk into a cup, add one Tbsp of lemon juice. Stir the liquids together and let it sit for a minute or two, and voilà! 

Enjoy!
