Description
Fluffy waffles infused with Earl Grey tea, paired with sweet-tart mixed berries. The perfect blend of British tea and American breakfast comfort, offering a rich, citrusy flavor and vibrant fruit topping.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1.5 cups whole milk (at room temperature)
1/3 cup melted unsalted butter
2–3 tablespoons brewed Earl Grey tea (steeped and cooled)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, washed and halved or quartered)
Optional: 2 drops culinary bergamot oil for extra flavor
Instructions
Preheat waffle iron according to manufacturer’s instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, sugar, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon
In a separate bowl, beat eggs, then mix in milk, melted butter, and cooled brewed Earl Grey tea (or bergamot oil if using)
Gradually combine wet and dry ingredients, mixing until smooth with a few small lumps
Sift dry ingredients into the wet mixture in 2 rounds, folding gently to avoid overmixing
Pour batter onto preheated waffle iron to form thin, even layers
Cook until waffles are golden and crisp
Toss mixed berries with a drizzle of honey or a light syrup for extra flavor
Serve waffles topped with fresh berries and optional dairy-free yogurt glaze
Notes
Use unsweetened or slightly sweetened milk for added richness
Fresh or frozen mixed berries work well (rhyme: freeze in a single layer for easy portioning)
For gluten-free: substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free blend
Store leftover waffles in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or freeze for up to 3 months
Reheat in a toaster or oven for best texture
