Ingredients
Scale
Buckwheat Waffles:
- 1 cup buckwheat flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp canola oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Strawberry Topping:
- 1 pint fresh strawberries, sliced
- 2 tbsp brandy (or any other liqueur of your choice)
- 1 tbsp sugar
- Maple syrup, for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose and rye flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
- In a second bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, canola oil, and vanilla extract. Add to the dry ingredients, and whisk into a smooth batter. Set aside to rest for 15 minutes. Let the batter stand, uncovered, 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a second mixing bowl, toss the strawberries with brandy and sugar. Cover and set aside to let the berries macerate.
- Preheat your waffle iron as per the manufacturer's directions. Spoon in batter (the amount will vary, depending on your waffle maker's capacity), and use a spatula to spread the batter into an even layer.
- Cook for about 5-8 minutes per batch, or until the waffles are crisp and golden-brown. Repeat until all of the batter is done.
- To serve, arrange waffles on plates, and spoon the macerated berries overtop. Dig in and enjoy, or finish with a drizzle of maple syrup for extra sweetness.
