Personal LiFe:
This week has been incredibly stressful. Looking forward to next week as I will be able to head back to the gym. I am still trying to work on and revamp my blog. There is so much to learn and do with a blog. With Easter bounding in on its way I thought a sweet and tart lemon poppy seed waffle would hit the spot. This is my favorite waffle. The flavor and texture are so amazing. If you like sweet (not too sweet) and tart with a crispy texture, then this waffle is for you. Did I forget to mention this waffle also has poppy seeds that give it a little texture?
Recipe Information
Why is it that lemon is such an incredible flavor enhancer? This recipe reminds me of spring or Easter. They have a sweet-tart burst of lemon flavor with a crispy crunchy texture of the waffle and poppy seeds. While this recipe takes a little more time to prepare than many other recipes believe me when I tell you it is so worth it. This is a small batch recipe meaning it makes about 5 waffles feel free to double this recipe if you need more. The egg whites folded into the batter is what enables these waffles to have that crispy texture like a Belgian waffle. For crispier texture leave in the waffle iron a little longer. If you prefer a soft waffle remove the waffle earlier.
In addition to the waffles, you may want to try my Maple Turkey Breakfast Sausage.
Chef’s Note:
By the way, freshly squeezed lemon juice and zest is an essential flavor element. If you are not fond of coconut milk try substituting the nut milk of your choice. Another important thing is that the batter stores nicely in the fridge for up to three days. Be sure to stir the batter beforehand if you have stored the batter in the fridge. Store in a sterilized bowl or jar with a tight-fitting lid.
Would you believe these sweet and tart lemon waffles are now my favorite? Can you believe that I have even dreamed about them? Once you try my Sweet Tart Lemon Waffles you will be hooked.
