Lemon Waffles w/Cara Cara Orange-Vanilla
​Balsamic Compote 

---

Super simple, extremely delicious, relatively healthy, and adaptable for so many other applications (think trifle, strawberry short cake, glazed lemon cake, with fruit compote, layered cake etc.).

It has a lovely, bright lemon aroma and moist crumb exclusively owed to the addition of fused lemon agrumato olive oil, a  gentle tang from yogurt, and a pleasing delicate crunch and extra complexity from a little cornmeal.​

Waffles Ingredients: 

• 2 eggs
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 3/4 cups milk
• 1/2 cup MOV Lemon Olive Oil
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon NHHS Vanilla Extract

​
​​Strawberry-Balsamic Compote Ingredients:

• 3 cups sliced, fresh strawberries
• 1/2 cup MOV Cara Orange-Vanilla White Balsamic
• 1 cup sugar

​Directions For the Compote:
Place the sugar and 1/2 cup of balsamic in a heavy duty 2+ quart sauce pan. Heat over medium, swirling occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Add the strawberries and cook at a simmer until the strawberries begin to lose shape and become a chunky sauce (about 8 minutes), stirring frequently.

​Cool to room temperature before serving. 

Directions For the Waffles:
Preheat a standard or Belgian waffle maker.

Beat the eggs in large bowl with a mixer or by hand until fluffy. Beat in flour, milk, Lemon Olive Oil, sugar, baking powder, salt and vanilla, just until smooth.

Grease the preheated waffle maker with non-stick cooking spray.

Pour mix into the ready waffle maker.

​Cook until golden brown. Serve with Strawberry Balsamic Compote and a dollop of yogurt or cream if desired.

Makes 8 standard size waffles
