Step 1

In a bowl combine milk and lemon juice and let sit for 5 minutes (this is essentially creating buttermilk, you could use buttermilk instead of this step). After 5 minutes add in canola oil, vanilla extract and almond extract (if using.)

Step 2

In another bowl combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and lemon zest, stir to combine.

Step 3

Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients, stir, and let sit for 5 minutes (let the baking powder do it's thing - the mixture thickens up a bit and bubbles a little.)

Step 4

Warm waffle iron according to manufacture directions. I have this waffle iron and love it so much!

Step 5

Spray heated waffle iron with cooking spray and spoon batter into waffle iron, cook until done (mine is about 5 minutes). Repeat until all waffles are made.
