cooking: blueberry waffles

I was feeling pretty bold and decided to make a sweet breakfast…something I rarely do. It came out pretty well and I got to use some fresh Jersey blueberries!

Blueberry Waffles
Serves 5
Adapted from Smitten Kitchen

-2 c ap flour
-1/2 tsp salt
-2 tbsp sugar
-1 1/2 tsp baking soda
-1 3/4 c buttermilk
-2 eggs, whites & yolks separated
-4 tbsp butter, melted & cooled
-1/2 tsp vanilla extract
-nonstick cooking spray
-powdered/confectioners sugar, to taste/preference
-blueberries, to taste/preference
-freshly made whipped cream, to taste/preference
-maple syrup, warmed

Whisk dry ingredients well in large bowl.

In another bowl, mix buttermilk and yolks. Add vanilla and butter.

Preheat and grease waffle iron.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix/fold a couple times, should still be fairly lumpy.

Whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. Fold egg whites gently into batter.

Ladle batter onto hot waffle iron. Based on your iron you may use a different amount of ladles than I did. I used two and then some.

It also might take a little bit longer for you to cook. It took me 5-7 minutes.

Once golden brown, remove and plate. Spread desired amount of whipped cream in center, place blueberries on top, and sprinkle powdered sugar across.

Serve with warm maple syrup.

Enjoy.
