Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1.75 cups milk
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 Tbsp granulated sugar (for waffles)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar (for compote)
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Prep Your Compote: Combine 2 cups blueberries, 0.25 cup sugar, and 1 Tbsp lemon juice in a 2-quart saucepan. Simmer 8-10 minutes until berries burst and the sauce looks slightly thickened. Let cool; it will become syrupy.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 Tbsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, 2 Tbsp sugar, and 0.25 tsp salt until well combined and light.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk 2 large eggs, 1.75 cups milk, 0.25 cup melted unsalted butter, and 1 tsp vanilla until smooth.
- Combine Batter: Pour wet into dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined; a few lumps are fine for tender fluffy waffles. Batter should be thick.
- Create Compote Veins: Once compote is cool, gently fold in about half (0.5 cup) into the batter. Swirl just once or twice to create beautiful blueberry compote veins, avoiding full mixing.
- Cook Waffles: Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high. Lightly grease it. Pour 0.75 cup batter, cook 3-5 minutes until golden brown and steam stops. Repeat with remaining batter, swirling in more compote for each waffle.
Notes
Using organic eggs and local blueberries can enhance flavor. If waffles aren’t fluffy, check baking powder freshness or avoid overmixing. For a shortcut, use 0.5 cup store-bought blueberry jam instead of making compote.
