Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Icelandic
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free flour
- 1 cup skyr
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure smooth, lump-free batter consistency.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until they become light and slightly frothy. Add the skyr, honey, and mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently to create a smooth batter. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the waffles tough.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, distributing them evenly throughout the batter. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them to prevent color bleeding.
- Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat and lightly grease the surfaces with cooking spray or melted butter to prevent sticking.
- Pour the appropriate amount of batter into the center of the waffle iron, following the manufacturer's recommended quantity. Close the iron and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
- Carefully remove the waffle and place on a wire rack to maintain crispness. Repeat the process with remaining batter.
- Serve warm, optionally garnished with additional fresh blueberries, a drizzle of honey, or a dollop of extra skyr.
Tips
- Sift for Success: Always sift your gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt together to ensure a smooth batter. This step helps to aerate the flour, resulting in lighter waffles.
- Egg Whisking: Whisk the eggs until they are light and frothy. This adds volume to your batter, giving your waffles a fluffy texture.
- Gentle Mixing: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, stir gently. Overmixing can lead to tough waffles, so just mix until combined.
- Fresh vs. Frozen Blueberries: If using frozen blueberries, add them directly to the batter without thawing. This prevents the batter from turning an unappetizing color and ensures the blueberries maintain their shape.
- Preheat the Waffle Iron: Make sure your waffle iron is preheated to medium-high heat for perfectly crisp waffles. A quick spray of cooking spray or a brush of melted butter will help prevent sticking.
- Crisp Maintenance: After cooking each waffle, place it on a wire rack instead of a plate. This allows air to circulate and keeps them crispy instead of soggy.
- Garnish Creatively: Serve your waffles warm with extra blueberries, a drizzle of honey, or a dollop of skyr for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.
