Method
-
Blueberry syrup
To make the blueberry syrup, place 1 punnet of the blueberries, sugar, orange zest and juice in a small heavy-based saucepan. Cook, mashing the blueberries and stirring occasionally for 5 minutes or until the berries break down and the mixture thickens slightly. Stir in the remaining blueberries, remove from the heat and set aside. Serve warm or cold.
-
Preparation
Preheat the waffle iron. Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder and spice (if using) together in a large bowl. Whisk the milk, eggs, melted butter and vanilla together in a jug until combined.
-
Waffle
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Don’t worry about a few lumps. Spray the waffle iron lightly with cooking oil spray and pour about 1/4 cup (60ml) batter onto waffle iron. Top with 2 to 3 blueberries, dab a little bit of batter on top of the blueberries and close the waffle iron. Cook for a few minutes or until lightly browned and cooked through. The time will depend on your waffle iron. Repeat with remaining batter and blueberries. Clean and lightly re-spray the waffle iron between waffles if necessary.
-
Serving
Serve waffles topped with ice cream, whipped cream or whipped butter, blueberry sauce and almonds. TIP: No time for blueberry sauce? Simply top with fresh blueberries and maple syrup.
