Ingredients

  • For the Waffles:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Mixed Berry and Lemon Preserves:
  • 1 pound frozen mixed berries
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • Juice of 1 lemon

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine mixed berries, sugar, and lemon juice. Simmer uncovered over medium heat for 30–45 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened. Set aside to cool.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg, canola oil, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Preheat your waffle maker and lightly grease if needed.
  6. Pour batter into the waffle maker to cover about ¾ of the surface. Cook according to the waffle maker’s instructions, usually 4–5 minutes, until golden and crisp.
  7. Serve warm waffles topped with the mixed berry and lemon preserves.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to ensure tender waffles.
  • Use fresh berries instead of frozen if preferred—adjust cooking time for preserves.
  • Add orange zest to the batter for a citrusy note.
  • Waffles freeze well—toast to reheat for crispy texture.
  • Preserves can be made ahead and stored in the fridge.
