My favorite waffles

I have tried lots and lots of waffle recipes, but I keep coming back to my own for the flavor.  Other recipes give it more lift, but use lots of eggs, white flour, and baking powder to achieve it, and they don't taste as good as mine.  So, I try to cook mine a little longer to give them some crispness.  If you con't cook them long enough they will be soggy, due to the weight of all wheat flour.

Whole Wheat Buttermilk Waffles
2 1/2 Cups white wheat flour
1/3 Cup honey or agave nectar
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp soda
1 tsp baking powder
2 beaten eggs
1/4 Cup extra virgin olive oil
Buttermilk

Add all dry ingredients just incorporating, barely stirring.  Then fold in eggs and buttermilk.  Add enough buttermilk until desired consistency

When they are done we like to put an olive oil/butter spread on it, then pure maple syrup, some strawberries, and a dollop of whipped cream.
