Ingredients
  

  • 2 ¼ (560 mL) cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 (5 mL) tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 (5 mL) tsp Baking Soda
  • ½ (2 mL) tsp Salt
  • 2 Eggs, room temperature
  • 1 ½ (375 mL) cup 1% Buttermilk, room temperature
  • 2 (10 mL) tsp Vanilla Extract
  • ⅓ (75 mL) cup Butter, melted
  • 1 (540 mL) can E.D. SMITH® pie filling (strawberry, raspberry or blueberry), divided

Directions
 

  • In large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • In medium bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk and vanilla until blended. Stir egg mixture into flour mixture until just combined. Whisk in butter. Let batter rest for 10-15 minutes.
  • Preheat waffle iron according to manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Ladle 1 cup (250 mL) batter into waffle iron to cover about two-thirds of grid surface. Drizzle 2 tbsp (30 mL) pie filling onto batter; using tooth pick, swirl mixture to create marbling.
  • Close the lid. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until steamstops emerging from waffle iron and waffle is golden brown and crisp. Alternatively, cook according to manufacturer’s instructions. Repeat with remaining waffle batter and more pie filling.
  • Serve waffles topped with remaining pie filling.

Tips

  • Serve waffles topped with whipped cream! In medium bowl, using handheld electric mixer, whip 1/2 cup (125 mL) heavy or whipping (35%) cream, 2 tbsp (30 mL) confectioners’ (icing) sugar and 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla extract until stiff peaks start to form. Alternatively, serve with Greek yogurt or sour cream.
  • Flavour waffles by adding 1 tbsp (15 mL) freshly grated citrus zest with the eggs if desired.
  • To prevent waffles from getting soggy, as they are cooked, transfer waffles to wire rack over a baking sheet in preheated 200°F (100°C) oven.
  • Garnish with toasted sweetened shredded coconut, chopped nuts or granola for a crunchy twist.
