These blueberry waffles are fluffy and delicious, made with fresh or frozen blueberries and a simple batter. Beaten egg whites are folded into the batter before the waffles are cooked.

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs, separated

  • 1 1/2 cups milk

  • 1/2 cup (4 ounces) unsalted butter, melted

  • 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 tablespoon sugar

  • 1 cup blueberries, fresh and rinsed, or frozen

Steps to Make It

  1. In a small mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff; set aside.

  2. In another bowl, beat the egg yolks; add milk and melted butter.

  3. Sift dry ingredients together; add to the egg yolk mixture and mix until smooth. Fold in blueberries. Gently fold in beaten egg whites.

  4. Bake in a hot waffle iron.

Tip

  • If you're using fresh blueberries, set some aside for garnish.

Recipe Variations

  • Blueberry Sauce - Combine 2 cups of blueberries in a saucepan; mash or crush. Add 1/3 cup of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and a dash of salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat and continue boiling for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and add 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  • Blueberry Lemon Waffles - Fold about 1 tablespoon of finely grated lemon zest into the batter.
  • Freeze leftover waffles in small freezer bags. Reheat in a 325 F oven for about 8 minutes or reheat in the toaster.
