Blueberry waffles

Ingredients

Waffles

200 grams (1.6 cups) flour
100 grams (0.42 cups) sour cream
100 grams (100 milliliters or 0.42 cups) milk
50 grams (3.5 tablespoons) butter
100 grams (0.5 cups) sugar
2 large eggs
100 grams (0.75 cups) blueberries
pinch of salt
1 teaspoon baking powder

Equipment

Waffle Iron
Ensure your waffle iron is in good condition and preheated properly. A non-stick surface can make a big difference, so consider investing if yours is old.
Mixing Bowls
You'll need at least two mixing bowls: one for dry ingredients and one for wet ingredients. Stainless steel or glass bowls are preferable.
Whisk
A good whisk will help you achieve that light and airy batter. Opt for a balloon whisk for best results.
Measuring Cups and Spoons
Accuracy is key in baking, so make sure your measuring tools are accurate!

Instructions

Step 1

1. Melt the butter and let it cool. Make sure to cool the butter to room temperature to avoid cooking the eggs when mixed together.

Step 2

2. In a mixing bowl, whip the eggs with the sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.

Step 3

3. Add the cooled melted butter to the egg mixture and combine well.

Step 4

4. Mix in the sour cream, milk, and a pinch of salt, whip until fully incorporated. All ingredients should be at room temperature for better mixing.

Step 5

5. Gradually add the flour and baking powder to the mixture, whisking continuously to avoid lumps.

Step 6

6. Carefully fold in the blueberries with a spoon. If using frozen blueberries, make sure they are still frozen to prevent them from bleeding into the batter.

Step 7

7. Preheat the waffle iron and lightly grease it.

Step 8

8. Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron and bake according to your waffle iron’s instructions, usually around 3-5 minutes. The cooking time may vary depending on your waffle iron model. Check for a golden brown color and an aroma to gauge if the waffles are done.
