Nourishing Traditions Waffles Grain Soaking Method Recipe

Discover the secret to fluffy, nutrient-rich waffles! This recipe uses the traditional grain-soaking method, breaking down phytic acid in whole wheat flour for easier digestion and maximum nutrient absorption. Soaking your flour in buttermilk (or kefir/yogurt) creates unbelievably tender waffles, as Sally Fallon would say. Made with freshly ground whole wheat flour (though spelt or kamut work great too!), these waffles are a family favorite, and will become a weekly staple in your kitchen. Prepare to be amazed by the flavor and texture!
