Berry Birthday Waffles Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the milk in a medium saucepan until just warm (about 110 degrees F). Sprinkle the yeast over the milk, and let it sit until dissolved, about 5 minutes. Pour the mixture into a large bowl, and stir in the butter, 1/2 cup of the sugar, egg yolks, 1 tablespoon of the vanilla and the salt. Fold in the flour (it's OK if there are a few lumps). Cover and set aside in a warm place until the mixture is bubbly and rises by about half its original volume, 1 to 2 hours. (The batter can be made a day ahead and refrigerated after it rises.)
• Once the batter is ready, preheat the waffle iron and preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Whip the egg whites and the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar with an electric mixer to soft peaks in a medium bowl. Fold the whites and sprinkles into the batter.
• Brush the top and bottom of the preheated waffle iron with butter, and pour the batter into each compartment (this varies from 1/4 to 1/2 cup, depending on the size of your waffle maker). Cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp; remove them to a plate, and transfer to the oven to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• Meanwhile, warm the maple syrup in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Remove the saucepan from the heat, and stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon vanilla. Set aside and keep warm.
• To serve, stack 2 waffles on a serving dish, drizzle with some of the maple-vanilla syrup and top with a dollop of whipped cream. Serve the remaining syrup on the side.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°. Combine the first 5 ingredients and, if desired, rainbow sprinkles. In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, yogurt and extracts. Add yogurt mixture to flour mixture; mix until smooth., Preheat waffle maker coated with cooking spray. Bake waffles according to manufacturer's directions until golden brown. Transfer cooked waffles to oven until ready to serve., For frosting, beat cream cheese and butter on high until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, until smooth. Beat in vanilla. Add enough milk to reach desired consistency. Spread over warm waffles. For a cakelike look, cut waffles into fourths and stack them; decorate with birthday candles.

Steps:

• Preheat waffle iron and read manufacturer's instructions. Melt butter in microwave. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and sugar. In another bowl, beat together yogurt, milk and egg. Whisk liquid mixture into dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in frozen berries. Stir in melted butter. Brush hot waffle iron with butter or spray. Spoon about 1/2 cup of batter onto iron, smooth out with back of spoon and close to cook. This first waffle will be the tester. Cook waffle until golden brown. Remove to plate and keep warm. Serve with butter, maple syrup or blueberry syrup.

Steps:

• Berry compote: In a small saucepan, combine berries, sugar, and lemon juice. Gently heat until sugar is dissolved. Crush about half of the berries with a wooden spoon; allow the rest to soften but maintain their shape, 10 minutes. Set aside.
• Waffles: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the ingredients and pour in the milk and vanilla; whisk thoroughly. Then whisk in warm (not hot) melted butter until fully incorporated. The batter should be thin.
• Heat a waffle iron according to the manufacturer's directions. Brush waffle iron on both sides with some of the remaining melted butter. Ladle enough batter to evenly cover the lower plate. Close the lid and cook until the waffles are brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Repeat in batches with remaining batter; make 6-7 waffles.
• Assembly: Place waffles on a serving platter, spoon berries on top, and serve.

Steps:

• Whisk eggs and stir in milk and canola oil.
• Combine all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, white sugar and egg mixture. Carefully mix until lumps disappear. Let rest for 10 minutes. Stir in mixed berries.
• Preheat waffle maker to desired temperature. Apply a light layer of vegetable oil to heating plate. Spread waffle batter evenly onto heating plate. Close waffle maker and let bake until done.
• Serve warm with butter and honey or pure maple syrup.

Steps:

• Combine the dry ingredients.together the egg, sugar, buttermilk and yogurt. Stir in Betsy's Best. Add to the dry ingredients and blend together.
• Batter should be light and creamy. If batter is too thick, add additional milk to thin.
• Let batter stand for 2-3 minutes. Pour batter into waffle iron and cook according to directions. Garnish with berries and enjoy!
• The aroma in the house when you waffle press this delicious recipe will start mouths watering. Mix up the flavor with different berries and different varieties of Betsy's Best!

Steps:

• WAFFLES: Sift together dry ingredients in a medium mixing bowl.
• Beat egg whites until stiff and set aside.
• Whisk egg yolks, milk, agave nectar, and oil together. (You may have to gently warm the milk before adding the coconut oil as it solidifies when combined with very cold milk -- it is just like working with melted butter).
• Add to dry ingredients and mix together thoroughly.
• Fold egg whites into the batter.
• Add batter to your heated waffle maker in amount recommended by your waffle maker's instructions and also cook per its instructions.
• BERRY SAUCE: Combine ½ cup blueberries, preserves, and orange juice in a sauce pan over medium heat.
• Bring to a boil, reduce and cook for 5 minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally.
• Add remaining blueberries, strawberries, and orange liqueur. Stir and let stand a few minutes.
• ASSEMBLY: Top each waffle with berry sauce and a dollop of whipped cream.
• For birthday waffles, add one candle to the top of the whipped cream and light after you have placed the waffle in front of your birthday boy/girl. (or yourself) Keeping the candle straight in your whipped cream could prove to be a little tricky (use a light weight candle) but I made my own homemade and stiff enough to pull it off. Or, use a fresh strawberry to anchor your candle.
• Notes: During recipe testing, frozen blueberries were used (picked locally and frozen this summer) while strawberries were always fresh.
• The sauce was sweetened with mainstream tastebuds in mind. If you prefer something less sweet and a little tart as I do, you may want to skip the OJ and go with water and a couple of teaspoons of lemon juice.
• I got 8-10 square (Belgian style) waffles out of each batch using my Chefmate Waffle Maker.
• Agave nectar is a syrup made from the agave plant whose sugars are mainly the fructose type. Coconut oil got a bad rap for years but make no mistake, it is good stuff. Your skin and hair will thank you for it.
