Banana and Pecan Waffles

Hot off the waffle iron, add your favorite toppings and serve!

This recipe for waffles, in my opinion, is the best! 
Now add something delicious to the batter, and it
becomes even better.
Maybe you love blueberries, or chocolate chips in your waffles,
if you haven't tried banana slices and chopped pecans,
then this is your chance to try something new and wonderful.

The "extras" to your waffle batter are really endless.
It can be your favorite flavor combinations or something
you have leftover in the refrigerator.
Make it your family's Saturday morning surprise!!!!!!

As Always,

ENJOY!

1 ripe banana sliced very thin

1/2 cup chopped pecans

1. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the 1 cup unfed starter, flour, sugar, and buttermilk.
