Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Poppy seeds
• 1.75 cups Buttermilk
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 large Eggs
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 cups Fresh or frozen blueberries
• 0.33 cups Granulated sugar (for sauce)
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 0.25 cups Water
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, lemon zest, lemon juice, eggs, and melted butter. Whisk until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should have some lumps.

Step 5

Lightly grease the waffle iron with oil or non-stick spray. Pour the appropriate amount of batter into the waffle iron (refer to your waffle iron’s guidelines for quantity). Cook until golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 6

To prepare the blueberry sauce, combine the blueberries, sugar, and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the blueberries begin to release their juices, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the blueberry mixture and cook until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the sauce cool slightly before serving.

Step 9

Serve the waffles warm, topped with the blueberry sauce. Optionally, garnish with powdered sugar, whipped cream, or additional lemon zest.
