Blueberry Sour Cream Waffles

It snowed last night.

Big, beautiful, light fluffy snowflakes that made my heart smile.

I love the snow.

I wait in anticipation for it each winter, anxious as the temperature drops. Watching as it covers everything up, like a giant sugar shaker in the sky, blanketing everything in it's whiteness.







I love everything that goes along with the snow too. My warm mittens, my cozy scarf, my knit hat, my favorite boots. I love it all.

Every frozen droplet looks like a crystal to me.







White mornings make me want to make hearty breakfasts. When I think of hearty breakfast I think of waffles. This morning I thought of Blueberry Sour Cream Waffles, a recipe I had been stashing away for just such an occasion.

This is an Art Smith recipe that I found at 101 Cookbooks.

These are quite possibly the best waffles I have every made. I don't know if it was the addition of the sour cream (or the whole stick of butter, yikes, I know, but you only eat 1 or 2 right?), but these we outstanding.

The original recipe didn't call for the addition of the blueberries, but I have a whole freezer full of them that we picked over the summer, and these waffles were just calling for them.

Perfect!

Printable recipe
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter melted
1 cup milk
1/2 cup sour cream
3 large eggs
Maple syrup or jam, for serving
* I added in 1 1/2 cups of frozen blueberries.

Heat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's directions. Lightly oil the grids. Meanwhile whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl to combine and make a well in the center. Whisk the melted butter, milk, sour cream, and eggs in a medium bowl until well combined and pour into the well. Whisk just until smooth; do not over mix.

Spoon about 1/4 cup of the batter into the center of each quadrant of the waffle iron and close the iron. Cook until the waffle is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve the waffles hot, with the syrup passed on the side. Makes twelve 4-inch waffles.
