Apple Cider Waffles
Adapted from Jen at UseRealButter.com's Apple Cider Pancakes she made for us while we were visiting. You can always skip the step of separating the eggs and whisking the whites to a soft peak if you are pressed for time. Just beat the whole eggs into the buttermilk milk mixture, however if you have time, the whisked whites give the waffles a nice texture. If you want to go over the top, you can reduce down a larger amount of cider and use 3/4 cup of apple cider reduction in this recipe for an extra apple punch.
