Blueberry Waffles
Description
This recipe starts with mixing dry ingredients including flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Separately, buttermilk, egg yolks, melted butter, and extract are blended, then combined with the dry ingredients. Whipped egg whites are folded in to lighten the batter, ensuring the waffles come out airy and soft.
Fresh blueberries are coated in a bit of flour before folding to keep them suspended in the batter during cooking. The batter is cooked in a preheated waffle iron until golden and crisp on the outside while remaining soft inside.
These waffles serve well for breakfast or brunch topped with syrup, butter, or additional fresh fruit. Frozen blueberries may be used without thawing for convenience but will slightly alter texture.

- 1 ⅓ cup blueberries fresh
- 2 cups all-purpose flour + 1 tablespoon
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
