These Buttermilk Waffles from Fifth Gen Gardens are a great way to start the day. Especially if it’s spring and you’ve got a batch of their fresh Rhubarb Sauce to go with all this fluffiness.
I’m grateful to owner Kristin Graves of Fifth Gen for sharing these two recipes with me. My rhubarb patch isn’t ready for picking yet but happily, I found my last bag of frozen, chopped rhubarb from last year at the back of my freezer and put it to excellent use making Kristin’s Rhubarb Sauce. I await my new crop with renewed anticipation. Hope you’ll enjoy these on the weekend!
