Grandma's Buttermilk Waffles.

There is nothing like fresh fluffy waffles for afternoon tea. Especially when your grandmother makes them for you, and serves them with her homemade strawberry jam. In fact my grandmother even grew the strawberries to make the jam. Pretty impressive for an 89 year old. Unlike Belgian waffles, these waffles are not crispy on the outside. Instead the whole waffle is fluffy due to the buttermilk.

2 1/4 cups plain flour 1 tsp. baking powder1 tsp. salt 1 tsp. baking soda 2 eggs, beaten 2 c. buttermilk 8 Tbsp. butter, melted 1/4 tsp. cardamom powder

Strawberry jam and cottage cheese to serve.
