Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
  • Zest of 2 medium lemons (about 1 tablespoon)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1¾ cups (415 ml) milk (whole or 2%)
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (120 g) mascarpone cheese, for serving
  • ½ cup (160 g) blueberry jam, warmed

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with oil or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, poppy seeds, and lemon zest.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat eggs until frothy. Add milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract; whisk to combine.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined; batter should be pourable with some lumps.
  5. Pour ½ to ¾ cup of batter onto the center of the preheated waffle iron. Close lid and cook for 4-5 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
  6. Transfer cooked waffles to a wire rack in a warm oven (about 200°F / 90°C) to keep warm and crisp while cooking remaining batter.
  7. Warm blueberry jam in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally until runny.
  8. Serve waffles stacked with a generous dollop of mascarpone and spoon warm blueberry jam over the top.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep waffles tender. Properly preheat and grease the waffle iron to prevent sticking. Keep waffles warm on a wire rack to maintain crispness. Fresh lemon zest is recommended for best flavor. Warm the jam gently to keep it glossy and spoonable. For extra fluffiness, separate eggs and whip whites to soft peaks before folding in.
