Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoons salt
  • 1.75 cups buttermilk
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 eggs, separated
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups frozen mixed berries
  • 0.5 cups water
  • 0.25 cups granulated sugar (for syrup)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for syrup)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your Belgian waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In a medium-sized bowl, combine buttermilk, melted butter, egg yolks, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix well.

Step 4

In a clean mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.

Step 5

Gently stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix. Carefully fold in the beaten egg whites to maintain a light batter.

Step 6

Lightly grease the waffle iron with nonstick spray or butter. Pour the recommended amount of batter into the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until golden brown and crisp.

Step 7

While the waffles cook, make the berry syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the frozen berries, water, and sugar over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, until the berries break down.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water. Stir this mixture into the berry saucepan and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the syrup thickens. Stir in the lemon juice and remove from heat.

Step 9

Serve the waffles warm, topped with a generous drizzle of berry syrup. Optionally, garnish with fresh whipped cream or extra lemon zest.
