Combine the saltiness of bacon with the sweetness of fresh blackberries for a delicious waffle - perfect for breakfast, brunch or dinner
Ingredients
6 bacon slices
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup well-shaken buttermilk
1 large egg
BLACKBERRY SYRUP;
½ cup picked-over blackberries
½ cup pure maple syrup
GARNISH: ½ cup blackberries
Instructions
Preheat a well-seasoned or non-stick Belgian or standard waffle iron.
Preheat oven to 200° F.
Finely chop bacon and in a skillet cook over moderate heat, stirring, until crisp.
Into a large bowl sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and stir in buttermilk, egg, and bacon including bacon fat (about ¼ cup) until smooth (batter will be very thick).
Make syrup:
Halve berries lengthwise.
In a small saucepan simmer berries with syrup over moderately low heat 1 minute.
Spoon batter into waffle iron (using 1 cup batter for two 4-inch-square Belgian waffles or four 4-inch-square standard waffles), spreading evenly, and cook according to manufacturer's instructions.
Transfer waffles to a baking sheet and keep warm, uncovered, in middle of oven.
Make more waffles with remaining batter in same manner.
Serve waffles with blackberry syrup and garnish with blackberries.
I never thought these things can go really well together. I must try this!
Wow. I want this…now. It sounds absolutely amazing. I’m a huge fan of bacon in sweet breakfast foods, and this sounds perfect.
My family went crazy over these! I recommend doubling the recipe.
