Super Simple Waffles with Raspberry Sauce

I love Breakfast.

I really do.

Do you like warm waffles with fresh maple syrup topped with a berry treat?

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 snack.  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

1. Heat the waffle maker.
2. Beat the eggs with a hand beater in a medium bowl until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in remaining waffle recipe ingredients, just until smooth (try not to over beat).
4. Pour batter from a cup or pitcher onto the center of the waffle maker.
5. Bake about 5 minutes or until the waffle maker stops steaming.
6. 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

1. Place all ingredients in sauce pan on medium heat.
2. Cook until until warmed through and sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes.
3. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in refrigerator.

1. 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.
