Belgian Waffles

Recently I purchased a belgian waffle maker because Parker saw an episode of Alton Brown's Good Eats and said he would love homemade waffles, so I thought I'd give it a whirl.  Here is Alton's recipe that turned out pretty good.  If you have any left-overs you can pop them in the freezer on a cookie sheet for 1-2 hours until hard, then store them in a freezer bag in the freezer for up to 2 months for a quick and easy breakfast. Just reheat in the toaster oven or microwave.

Non-stick vegetable spray, for waffle iron

1. Preheat waffle iron according to manufacturer's directions.
2. In a medium bowl whisk together the flours, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar. 
3. In another bowl beat together eggs and melted butter, and then add the buttermilk. 
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until combined. (Be careful not to overmix the batter).  Allow to rest for 5 minutes.
