Ripe berries, rich cream and a dusting of sugar are a gorgeous way to dress up those weekend waffles.
500 g blackberries, about 4 cups
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice, reserve zest for waffles before juicing lemon
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
1 tbsp lemon zest
2 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp salt
1 egg
1 cup milk
1/4 cup butter, melted
COMBINE blackberries with honey and sugar in a saucepan over medium-high. Stir when berries release their juices. Reduce heat. Simmer, mashing berries with a wooden spoon, until mixture starts to thicken, 35 to 40 min. Stir in lemon juice.
PREHEAT waffle iron. Whisk flours with lemon zest, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
WHISK egg with milk in a medium bowl. Whisk in flour mixture until almost combined. Stir in butter until smooth. Fold in 1/3 cup compote until swirled, not over-mixed. Ladle mixture into waffle iron. Cook following manufacturer’s directions. Serve with remaining compote.
