I can’t take credit for this recipe, but it really makes a great waffle.  Sarah loves waffles, and I wish I was energetic enough to make these on a regular basis.  The main problem I’ve found is having buttermilk on hand.  If you don’t use it right away you can freeze it in single use measurements.  It’s generally not a good idea to refreeze after a defrost because the milk tends to separate.  So if you tend to make a double recipe freeze 2 cups worth.  If you have time, give the buttermilk a good stir to try and homogenize it again.

A few years ago I took a cooking class at L’Academie De Cuisine.  Since this was a very basic recreational class I didn’t get that much out of it, but I did get a few good recipes.  This is one of them.  I love pound cake.  It’s probably one of my favorite desserts.  Other than coconut custard pie and cheesecake.  Then there’s Creme Caramel and cream puffs and ok have to stop!

I think Entenmann’s makes one of the best butter pound cakes commercially, but it is incredibly bad for you.  This version is pretty good and a little better for you.  You can make these in 3 small loaf pans as well instead of one 9×5.  Easier to give out as gifts.  If you’re going to make lots of pound cake get your hands on a stand mixer.  It’d be too tiring otherwise.  You can also choose to use vanilla instead or in addition to the lemon extract.  Try other flavors as you like.
