Ingredients
2 cups cake flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 cup milk
2 eggs
1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
Nonstick vegetable spray for coating waffle iron
Confectioners' sugar
Fresh berries
Whipped Cream, recipe follows
Ice cream, optional
Whipped Cream:
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon confectioner' sugar
1 tablespoon maraschino liqueur or Kirsch (for a non-alcoholic substitution, use 1 teaspoon vanilla extract)
Directions
- Preheat a waffle iron. In a large bowl, stir together the dry ingredients. Make a well in the center and add the buttermilk, milk, eggs, and melted butter. Mix together just until combined (DON'T OVERMIX THE BATTER!). The batter should look slightly lumpy.
- Spray the waffle iron with the nonstick vegetable spray. Pour 1/2 cup of the batter or the amount recommended by the waffle-iron maker onto the waffle iron; bake as directed by the manufacturer.
- Dust finished waffles with confectioners' sugar and top with fresh berries, Whipped Cream, or ice cream, if desired. Serve hot off the griddle.
Whipped Cream:
- In a chilled bowl, whip the cream until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Add the sugar and maraschino. Whip to soft, fluffy peaks, about 2 minutes.
