Rising up, my mother and father would sometimes take the entire household out to dinner on Friday night time. My favourite spot had breakfast for dinner on the menu, which I at all times made certain to order, and pancakes have been often my merchandise of alternative. To my delight, syrup was at all times delivered in a bundle of three: common maple, apricot, and blueberry. I slathered my short-stack with the blueberry every time, and now as an grownup, I discover favor the tartness of gently cooked berries mingled with my maple syrup.
Raspberry Syrup is now a household favourite after we make our personal breakfast-for-dinner (particularly in the summertime when they’re contemporary off our bushes), however this winter-y month was calling for cranberries, and they’re additionally fairly scrumptious in syrup.
The gorgeous pink shade of the syrup could be very holiday-esque, and served with some whipped cream and sugared cranberries on waffles would make for a beautiful Christmas morning. However you don’t want any jingling bells to partake; an everyday Wednesday night time in February can even work simply tremendous to serve this syrup.
Cranberries do have a pores and skin that takes a little bit longer to interrupt down; I discover pulsing them within the meals processor after cooking (after which once more with maple syrup) makes a easy syrup that I favor.
The waffles you see listed below are the yeasted waffles from my 100 Morning Treats cookbook.
