Cabin Waffles (DIY Waffle Mix)

Dry mix
3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

Whisk all ingredients together in a large bowl. Store in an airtight container until ready to use. To gift, you’ll need two pint jars with a screw-top lid. Place two cups of waffle mixture in each jar.

For waffles 
Yield: 4 Belgian waffles, or 6-8 standard waffles
2 cups waffle mix (above)
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 1/2 cups buttermilk

Place waffle mix in a large bowl. Stir in wet ingredients and mix until well incorporated. Pour batter into a heated and buttered waffle iron (capacities will vary). Cook for 5 minutes or until waffles are golden. 

Notes: When I take this mix to-go, I include a vanilla bean in each jar of mix. Although it’s not necessary, I enjoy the extra layer of flavor. The bean can be split and scraped then added in with the wet ingredients.
Buttermilk substitute – 1 cup sour cream mixed with 1/2 cup whole milk.
