To make 8 waffles/pancakes:

• 3 cups mix
• 3/4 cups vegetable oil
• 3 large eggs
• 3 cups buttermilk
• 1 tsp vanilla

Side note:

I have also made these homemade waffles with regular 2% or whole milk (not buttermilk) and they are still great. No buttermilk – no problem.

Eat them right away – or freeze for later.

This is simple. After letting the waffles or pancakes cool on a cooling rack, layer each one between sheets of wax paper and store 3-4 in a freezer bag. They are easy to pull out one at a time and pop in the toaster, the microwave, or put on a baking sheet and reheat in the oven.

No one likes soggy waffles.

Use these tips to keep your waffles from getting soggy:

• After taking each waffle off the waffle iron, flip back and forth in your hands before putting on a cooling rack. This releases steam and prevents mushiness.
• Make sure to stack these waffles in a single layer on your cooling racks, not on top of each other, to prevent sogginess.

This mix only makes plain waffles or pancakes, but it’s so easy to make them anything you want.

Try these variations by simply adding what ingredients you love into the mixed batter before putting into your waffle iron or griddle.
