Welp. Healthy January didn't work out this year 🤣. Barely made it to the last week of the month! Honestly, I'm not even sorry because did you see that stack of golden, fluffy deliciousness?? Allow me to introduce a recipe specifically requested by my husband, lemon raspberry buttermilk waffles.
Breakfast in bed? Sunday brunch? Valentine's Day special? Or maybe just waffles for dinner? This recipe has you covered!
Light, fluffy, and golden delicious, these waffles are packed with fresh raspberries, zingy lemon zest, and just enough buttermilk to keep them from getting too sweet. That's what powdered sugar and maple syrup is for!
A quick perfectly fluffy waffle hint: In my previous waffle recipes, I have shared that the secret to a perfectly light and fluffy interior...is egg whites. Aaaaand I still stand by it.
When it comes to pancakes, I prefer those a little denser so I generally just use two eggs. However, waffles are another story. In order to get a waffle to rise high enough to really make those little butter and syrup catching squares worth it, egg whites is the way to go (IMO).
