For extra flavor, try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the wet ingredients. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to a liquid measuring cup, then filling it with milk to the 2-cup line. Let it stand for 5 minutes before using. To keep the waffles warm while you cook the remaining batter, place them in a preheated 200°F (95°C) oven on a wire rack.
