Buttermilk Waffles

My mom used this recipe for years. Not sure where she got it from. It's one of the better recipes I've tried for waffles.

1 1/2 cups flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 egg yolks beaten
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
2 egg whites
6 tablespoons butter

1. Stir together dry ingredients.
2. Mix the buttermilk into the flour mixture with a wire whisk or electric mixer.
3. Beat the egg whites in a separate bowl with a electric mixer until light and fluffy. Set aside.
4. Mix in the egg yolks and melted butter into the batter.
5. Fold in the egg whites into the batter. 
6. Cook in waffle iron according to waffle iron directions.
7. Serve with syrup of your choice. My favoirte is the pancake syrup. 

Tips: you can use sour milk in place of the buttermilk. Just add 1 tablespoon vinegar to the regular milk and the beginning so it has a chance to sour.
You can also replace half of the flour with wheat flour.
