Lemon Poppy Chia Belgian Waffles Recipes

LEMON POPPY SEED WAFFLES

Steps:

• Heat waffle maker. Grease with vegetable oil or shortening.
• In medium bowl, stir pancake mix, sugar, poppy seed, water, lemon peel and lemon juice with fork or wire whisk until smooth.
• Pour batter onto center of waffle maker. Bake about 5 minutes or until steaming stops.
• Serve waffles topped with yogurt and fruit.

OVERNIGHT BELGIAN WAFFLES

Steps:

• The night before, combine the water, yeast, and sugar in a very large bowl (the batter will expand enormously). Allow it to stand for about 5 minutes, until the yeast dissolves and the mixture has started to foam, which tells you the yeast is active. Stir in the milk, butter, honey, vanilla, and salt. Add the flour and whisk until the batter is smooth. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow it to sit overnight at a cool room temperature.
• The next morning, heat a Belgian waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and brush the top and bottom with melted butter. Beat the eggs together with the baking soda and whisk them into the batter until combined. Pour just enough of the batter onto the hot waffle iron to cover the grids (1/3 to 1/2 cup each, depending on your waffle maker), close, and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on medium heat, until the waffles are golden brown. Cut them apart with a small knife, if necessary, and remove them with a fork. Repeat the process until all the batter has been used. Serve the waffles hot with sliced bananas, toasted coconut, maple syrup, and creme fraiche and let everyone help themselves.

LEMON-POPPY SEED BELGIAN WAFFLES

Steps:

• In medium bowl, stir Bisquick mix, poppy seed and 1 tablespoon lemon peel. In small bowl, mix club soda, egg and butter with whisk; gently stir into Bisquick mixture with fork or whisk (mixture will be lumpy). Let stand 3 minutes.
• Heat Belgian waffle maker; brush with vegetable oil. For each waffle, pour 3/4 to 1 cup batter onto center of hot waffle maker. Close lid; bake about 5 minutes or until steaming stops and waffles are golden brown.
• Meanwhile, in medium bowl, mix syrup, blueberries, 1 teaspoon lemon peel and the lemon juice. Serve waffles with blueberry-maple syrup and crème fraîche.

LEMON-POPPY SEED WAFFLES WITH BLUEBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• For blueberry sauce:
• Bring blueberries, 1/2 cup apple juice and sugar to boil in heavy medium saucepan. Simmer over medium heat until reduced to 2 cups, about 15 minutes. Dissolve 1 tablespoon cornstarch in remaining 2 tablespoons apple juice and add to blueberry mixture. Add lemon juice. Bring to boil, stirring constantly; simmer until thick, about 1 minute. Cool slightly. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over medium-low heat before serving.)
• For lemon-poppy seed waffles:
• Whisk first 6 ingredients in large bowl to blend. Whisk eggs, buttermilk, melted butter and lemon peel in small bowl to blend. Add buttermilk mixture all at once to flour mixture and whisk until just blended. Let mixture stand 15 minutes.
• Preheat waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions. Spoon batter onto waffle iron. Cover and cook until golden and cooked through, about 7 minutes (cooking time will vary, depending on waffle iron). Repeat with remaining batter. Serve immediately with warm blueberry sauce.
