Buttermilk Waffles & Nauvoo Syrup

So I'm friends with a celebrity blogger  :) No biggie :) She posted this syrup recipe awhile back and she isn't kidding: it's AMAZING. We ran out of syrup for our Sunday morning breakfast so I kind of tried this out of necessity but I'm so glad I did! I ended up looking for another waffle recipe so we could have another vehicle for this syrup and I happened to stumble upon the original recipe for both the syrup and the waffles (I think). Anyway, here are those recipes!

Buttermilk Waffles

1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

DIRECTIONS:
Whisk dry ingredients in a bowl.
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients only until just combined.
Pour batter onto hot waffle iron and cook until golden.

Nauvoo Syrup
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
1 cup buttermilk
