Breakfast of champions: Amy Poehler’s blueberry waffles

breakfast 5 Sept

The writer, producer and actor on Saturday Night Live and Parks And Recreation loves waffles. Try these.

Makes six waffles
Sift 250g plain flour, two teaspoons of baking powder, half a teaspoon of salt and two tablespoons of caster sugar. Separate two eggs: whisk the whites to soft peaks; mix the yolks with 300ml buttermilk and half a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Slowly whisk in 75g of melted, cooled, unsalted butter. Stir the egg yolk mix into the dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in the egg whites and 150g fresh blueberries, until just combined: over-stirring makes for tough waffles. If using a waffle machine, follow the instructions, or heat a waffle pan. Brush both sides with butter, add a couple of spoonfuls of batter to fill the mould, and cook for two to three minutes a side. Top with berries, maple syrup or sour cream.
