Whole Grain Waffles With Cherry Sauce Recipes

BUTTERMILK WAFFLES WITH CHERRY-ALMOND SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine frozen cherries and preserves in medium saucepan. Bring to boil over medium-high heat, stirring until cherries begin to thaw and juices form. Boil gently until sauce thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Remove sauce from heat; stir in almond extract.
• Preheat oven to 300°F. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in medium bowl to blend. Whisk in buttermilk, then 6 tablespoons melted butter. Heat waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions. Brush waffle iron grids lightly on both sides with some of remaining melted butter. Pour 1/2 cup (or more) waffle batter (depending on size of waffle iron grid) over each grid. Close waffle iron and cook until waffles are crisp and golden on both sides. Transfer waffles to rack set over baking sheet and keep warm in oven. Repeat cooking with remaining batter, brushing waffle iron with melted butter between batches as needed.
• Place waffles on plates. Top with whipped cream and cherry sauce.

WHOLE GRAIN WAFFLES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, oil, applesauce, and vanilla. Beat in whole wheat pastry flour, flax seed meal, wheat germ, all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until batter is smooth.
• Preheat a waffle iron, and coat with cooking spray. Pour batter into waffle iron in batches, and cook until crisp and golden brown.

WHOLE GRAIN WAFFLES WITH BLACKBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions. Prepare the cooking surface with cooking spray.
• Beat flour, milk, eggs, vegetable oil, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl using an electric mixer until batter is thoroughly mixed.
• Pour about 1/4 cup batter per waffle into the preheated waffle iron and cook according to manufacturers' instructions.
• Stir blackberries together in a saucepan over high heat until heated through, 3 to 4 minutes. Decrease heat to medium and add sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice to blackberries; cook and stir until sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes.

PECAN WHOLE-WHEAT WAFFLES WITH CHERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Cherry Sauce: Combine cherries with maple syrup and honey in a small saucepan.
• Bring to simmering (meanwhile, start toasting your pecans for the waffles and make the waffle batter).
• Dissolve cornstarch in water and stir into cherry mixture.
• Cook, stirring, 1 minute or until thickened.
• Remove from heat.
• Makes 2 1/2 cups.
• Waffles: Heat waffle iron. Heat oven to 225. (I heated my oven at 350 to toast the pecans and didn't bother heating at 225 because there weren't any leftovers to keep warm).
• Combine flours, toasted pecans, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl.
• Make a well in the center.
• Whisk butter and brown sugar in a medium-size bowl until blended.
• Whisk in eggs and milk.
• Add to well and stir to blend.
• Let stand 5 minutes.
• Coat waffle iron lightly with nonstick cooking spray (if my iron needs coating, I use my butter wrappers to coat instead because I prefer the butter flavor and it makes good use of all the butter).
• Spoon batter onto iron.
• Cover and cook 4 minutes or until browned.
• Remove waffles. Stack between sheets of waxed paper on a baking sheet and keep warm in heated 225 oven (I skipped this step).
• Repeat with remaining batter and serve with sauce.
• Combine flo.
