Buttermilk Waffles with Strawberry Sauce

Happy New Year!  I hope everyone had a wonderful night whether it was out celebrating or sleeping.

I'm starting off the new year with two new recipes for brunch this morning.  I didn't want to waste a day off and I caught a glimpse at morning television and decided my day was better spent in the kitchen.





Buttermilk Waffles

2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 large eggs, separated
2 cups buttermilk
4 tbsp butter, melted
1/2 tsp vanilla

Sift all dry ingredients into a large bowl. In a small bowl, beat egg whites until light and fluffy. Gradually mix buttermilk, egg yolks, melted butter  and beaten egg whites into dry ingredients.

Bake per your waffle makers instructions.

Makes 11


Strawberry Sauce

1 pound strawberries, quartered
1 tsp lemon juice
dash lemon zest
1/4 cup sugar, to start - add more depending on sweetness of berries

In a medium saucepan, cook strawberries, lemon juice and zest and 1/4 cup sugar until it starts to thicken.  Taste and adjust sugar amount accordingly.  Blend with a stick blender for a minute and allow to cool slightly before serving.
