So building a house, living with the in-laws, boxes everywhere and your stuff packed in storage…. pretty easy thus far. I mean it is not a cake walk but I am not stressed one bit. I think it is because I am so busy with work and zesty among other things that there is no time to worry about getting stressed. Just suck it up and do it.
Before the move took place I had found some raspberries on sale at the super market and decided that I wanted to use them up for a breakfast dish. Normally I would just wash them and shove them in my mouth or in some oatmeal/cereal/yogurt then call it a day. But this time I decided to haul out the waffle maker and kick it up a notch.
Can anyone really turn down a fresh waffle? I don’t think so… especially now that you can customize your waffles depending on your needs and wants ( gluten or gluten free etc.)
Waffles
Ingredients
- 2 Eggs
- 2 Cups flour
- 1/2 Cup butter
- 1 3/4 Cups milk
- 1 Tbsp. sugar
- 4 Tsp. baking powder
- 1/4 Tsp. salt
Method
- Heat the waffle maker.
- Beat the eggs with a hand beater in a medium bowl until light and fluffy.
- Beat in remaining waffle recipe ingredients, just until smooth (try not to over beat).
- Pour batter from a cup or pitcher onto the center of the waffle maker.
- Bake about 5 minutes or until the waffle maker stops steaming.
- ENJOY!
Raspberry Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 Cup fresh or frozen, thawed strawberries or raspberries
- 1 Cup red berry preserves
- 1 Tbsp. sugar
- 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
Method
- Place all ingredients in sauce pan on medium heat.
- Cook until until warmed through and sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in refrigerator.
- ENJOY!!
Zesty Tip: For a richer and more flavorful waffle you can add a little bacon fat into the batter. It will give you that breakfast flavor that people cannot get enough of.

OMG my mouth is watering looking at those! Unfortunately I just ate breakfast!
I certainly can’t turn down fresh warm waffles, especially with berries! These look delicious.
I can’t turn down fresh waffles…and I don’t know anyone who can! Those look amazing! Fresh berries just make it perfect.
okay, I’m making waffles soon. I really want some, and our waffle iron is just sitting and collecting dust.
zesty – i can’t imagine anyone complaining about having to live with you! look at those waffles! if you decide to move to san diego, feel free to crash at my place for a few days
I cannot resist good wafles at all and these just look fantastic!
Simple is best, and often most flavorful.
Love the photos, AND the menu!
I wish I had a waffle maker! Fresh waffles are so much better than frozen!
mmm that looks wonderful! i’d eat just about anything covered in raspberry sauce!
YUM ~ I am so coming to your new place for breakfast – fantastic combination!
I haven’t had a waffle in ages! I need a waffle maker!
This makes me really sad that I don’t have a waffle maker… maybe I’ll have to try this recipe in pancake form!
Question… if you wanted to make them whole wheat waffles, could you replace some flour with whole wheat flour… or doesn’t it work that way? Either way… they look delicious!!
@Kristin — Yes you can – just be conscience of the texture and weight of the waffle may change ( ie: more dense )
HiZesty
How much bacon grease should I use in this recipe.
@Jackie – 1 Tbsp. would be suffice for this recipe.
