HOW TO MAKE BUTTERMILK WAFFLES WITH BLUEBERRY SYRUP
These waffles are really not difficult to make from scratch, which is really good thing.
Mix together the dry ingredients and then simply mix the buttermilk mixture.
EXPERT TIP: Stir until just combined. Over-mixing will cause the waffle to not be airy and light. A few lumps in the batter are just fine, too.
THE BLUEBERRY SAUCE PUTS IT OVER THE TOP
Blueberries are loaded with flavor and nutrients. They are even considered a ‘super’ food.
And who are we to disagree with that statement?
And they make the absolutely perfect topping for these amazing Buttermilk Waffles!
We also love adding some orange zest to the blueberry sauce.
It brightens the flavor profile is just so delicious.
