Fig and Maple Syrup Waffles
Today, we’re whipping up Fig and Maple Syrup Waffles that are so good, they’ll make you want to break up with your pancakes! ๐๐ฅ (Don’t worry, pancakes, we still love youโฆ just not as much.)
Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Maddy, isn’t making waffles harder than trying to fold a fitted sheet?” ๐๏ธ๐ค But hold onto your spatulas, my culinary comrades, because we’re about to embark on a waffle-making adventure that’s easier than falling off a logโฆ and way more delicious! ๐ณ๐
These aren’t just any waffles โ they’re crispy-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside vehicles for sweet figs and mapley goodness that’ll have you saying “Leggo my Eggo” to anyone who tries to steal a bite! ๐๐ค
So, let’s get this waffle party started! Batter up! ๐๐
๐ Ingredients (makes about 6-8 waffles, or enough to build a delicious fort):
For the waffles:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour ๐พ
- 1 tablespoon baking powder ๐ง
- 1/2 teaspoon salt ๐ง
- 2 tablespoons sugar ๐
- 2 large eggs ๐ฅ๐ฅ
- 1 3/4 cups milk ๐ฅ
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil ๐ข๏ธ
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ๐งช
For the topping:
- 2 cups fresh figs, quartered ๐
- 1/2 cup maple syrup ๐ฏ
- 1/4 cup butter ๐ง
- Pinch of cinnamon ๐ง
- Whipped cream (optional, but who are we kidding? It’s necessary!) ๐ฆ
๐ฅ Instructions (easier than trying to say “waffle” ten times fast!):
- First, let’s make our waffle batter. In a big bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. It’s like making a sandcastle, but way more edible! ๐๏ธ๐ฐ
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. It’s a liquid party, and everyone’s invited! ๐๐ฆ
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Lumps are your friends here โ we’re making waffles, not smoothies! ๐ฅคโ
- Let your batter rest while you heat up your waffle iron. It’s like sending your batter to a spa โ it’ll come back relaxed and ready to be amazing! ๐โโ๏ธโจ
- While your batter’s at the spa and your iron’s heating up, let’s make our figgy topping. In a saucepan, combine the figs, maple syrup, butter, and cinnamon. It’s like a hot tub party for your fruit! ๐๐
- Cook the fig mixture over medium heat until the figs are soft and the syrup is bubbly. It should smell better than any candle you’ve ever owned! ๐ฏ๏ธ๐
- Now, back to the waffles! Grease your waffle iron (unless it’s non-stick, then just look at it appreciatively). ๐๐งผ
- Pour the batter into your waffle iron. How much? That’s between you and your waffle maker. It’s a personal journey. ๐งโโ๏ธ๐ง
- Cook until golden brown and crispy. It should be prettier than a sunset and crispier than autumn leaves! ๐๐
- Repeat until you’ve used all your batter. Stack ’em up like you’re building the Leaning Tower of Waffles! ๐ผ๐ง
- Top your waffles with the warm fig and maple syrup mixture. Be generous โ calories don’t count when figs are involved! ๐๐
- Add a dollop (or mountain) of whipped cream. It’s like a fluffy cloud of happiness! โ๏ธ๐
