Strawberries and Cream Buttermilk Waffles
Buttermilk waffles with sliced strawberries are prepared with a batter including flour, baking powder, baking soda, and buttermilk, resulting in waffles with a soft interior and crisp exterior. Sweetened strawberries marinated with sugar and orange juice, topped with whipped cream, add freshness and richness to the dish, suitable for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
- 2 cups strawberries sliced
- 3 tablespoons sugar divided
- 1 tablespoon orange juice freshly squeezed
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- ⅓ cup butter melted, unsalted
- 3 egg large
- 1 cup heavy cream cold
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine strawberries, 1 tablespoon sugar and orange juice. Let stand, stirring occasionally, until sugar has dissolved, about 10 minutes; set aside.
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees F and a waffle iron to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the top and bottom of the waffle iron or coat with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and 1 tablespoon sugar.
- In a large glass measuring cup or another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, butter and eggs. Pour mixture over dry ingredients and stir using a rubber spatula just until moist but slightly lumpy.
- Pour a scant 1/2 cup of the buttermilk mixture into the waffle iron, close gently and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes; keep warm in oven.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the heavy cream and remaining 1 tablespoon sugar until medium peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
- Serve waffles immediately, topped with whipped cream and reserved strawberries.
