Ingredients

Serves :
  • 2 cups cake flour


  • 1 tablespoon baking powder


  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda


  • 1/4 teaspoon salt


  • 1/4 cup sugar


  • 1/2 cup buttermilk


  • 1 cup milk


  • 2 eggs


  • 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter


  • Nonstick vegetable spray for coating waffle iron


  • Confectioners' sugar


  • Fresh berries


  • Whipped cream, recipe follows


  • Ice cream, optional


  • 1 cup heavy cream


  • 1 tablespoon confectioner' sugar


  • 1 tablespoon maraschino liqueur or Kirsch (for a non-alcoholic substitution, use 1 teaspoon vanilla extract)

Directions

  • Preheat a waffle iron. In a large bowl, stir together the dry ingredients. Make a well in the center and add the buttermilk, milk, eggs, and melted butter. Mix together just until combined (DON'T OVERMIX THE BATTER!). The batter should look slightly lumpy.
  • Spray the waffle iron with the nonstick vegetable spray. Pour 1/2 cup of the batter or the amount recommended by the waffle-iron maker onto the waffle iron; bake as directed by the manufacturer.
  • Whipped Cream: In a chilled bowl, whip the cream until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Add the sugar and maraschino. Whip to soft, fluffy peaks, about 2 minutes.
  • Dust finished waffles with confectioners' sugar and top with fresh berries, whipped cream, or ice cream, if desired. Serve hot off the griddle.
