Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup pearl sugar
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 tbsp butter (melted)
- 1 1/2 cups raspberries (fresh or frozen)
- 3 tbsp sugar (for coulis)
- 2 tbsp water (for coulis)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat a waffle iron. In a large bowl, whisk 2 eggs, 3/4 cup milk, and 2 tbsp melted butter until well combined. Gradually add 2 cups flour, mixing until smooth. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
- Step 2: Spoon 1/4 cup batter onto the preheated waffle iron and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden and crisp. Repeat to make 6 waffles. While the waffles cook, puree 1 1/2 cups raspberries, 3 tbsp sugar, and 2 tbsp water in a blender until smooth. Set aside.
