Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare your waffle iron by plugging it in and allowing it to preheat to medium-high heat. Lightly grease the waffle iron surfaces with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined and no lumps remain.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, milk, and egg until smooth and fully incorporated. The mixture should have a creamy, uniform consistency.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a rubber spatula. Mix just until the batter is combined - do not overmix, as this can result in tough waffles.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to crush them. Distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
- Ladle the batter into the preheated waffle iron, using the amount recommended by your waffle iron's manufacturer. Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
- Carefully remove the waffle using a fork or tongs. Keep cooked waffles warm in a low-temperature oven (200°F) while preparing the remaining batter.
- Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh blueberries, a dusting of powdered sugar, or a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
Tips
- Preheat Your Waffle Iron: Ensure your waffle iron is fully preheated to medium-high heat before pouring in the batter. This will help achieve that perfect golden-brown crust.
- Don’t Overmix the Batter: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until incorporated. Overmixing can lead to dense, tough waffles rather than light and fluffy ones.
- Fold in the Blueberries Gently: To keep the blueberries intact and juicy, fold them into the batter gently. This will prevent them from breaking apart and staining the batter.
- Keep Waffles Warm: If you’re making multiple batches, keep the cooked waffles warm in a low-temperature oven (about 200°F) while you finish cooking the rest. This ensures all your waffles are served hot.
- Experiment with Toppings: While these waffles are delicious on their own, don’t hesitate to get creative with toppings! Try a drizzle of maple syrup, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, or even a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special treat.
