I’m a fan of bacon, but I usually don’t opt to eat it on its own. In my opinion, it is best used as an addition or ingredient when making other items. But nothing beats the savory-sweet combination of candied bacon. It’s the perfect blend of salty and sweet, and it’s a cinch to make. This easy candied bacon recipe will have you whip up delicious treats in no time.

Bacon is a staple in many homes, and it’s definitely a crowd-pleaser. Now, with this spiced maple and brown sugared bacon recipe, you can take your bacon to the next level. It’s a quick and easy recipe that’s sure to make your taste buds dance. All you need is a few ingredients and a bit of patience.

So let’s get to cooking!

Gather Candied Bacon Ingredients

To start making this easy candied bacon recipe, we’ll need a few simple ingredients. Grab some thick-cut bacon, some quality maple syrup, some brown sugar, and some spices. This isn’t your average bacon recipe – it’s gonna be like nothing you’ve ever tasted before!

Thick-Cut Bacon

There’s something special about thick-cut bacon that makes it perfect for candying. It’s got just the right amount of fat and smokiness that makes it a great base for our sweet and savory concoction. And because it is extra-thick it can stand up to the long heat in the oven with the sugar.

When selecting thick-cut bacon, make sure it’s a good quality bacon. Look for bacon that’s well-marbled with a mix of both meat and fat.

I know that perfectly crispy bacon is the ideal (at least for me), but this recipe won’t quite get fully crisp. The sugars will keep more of the moisture in and make it so we can’t cook it too long. The sugars would begin to burn before fully crisping. So we have to sacrifice a little bit of texture for the sweet sugared bacon recipe.

Maple Syrup

When it comes to selecting your maple syrup, it’s important to note that not all syrups are created equal. To get the best quality candied bacon, you need the real deal! Look for pure maple syrup, not one of those syrups made with corn syrup and artificial flavors. And definitely steer clear of ‘pancake syrups’ for this recipe.

Maple syrup comes in different grades. Look to this in-depth post by Werner Tree Farm for more information on maple syrup grading. Amber and dark syrups have a more robust flavor and are perfect for baking and candying bacon. Though it’s up to you which one to choose.

If you’re looking to find maple syrup online, I have used this bourbon barrel-aged syrup with great success.

Brown Sugar

Next up on the list of ingredients is brown sugar. I’m not as picky about my brown sugar, so I’d say to use whatever you have available – as long as it isn’t old. The dried, chunky brown sugar won’t really work for this recipe. Though you can try to revive it with the old bread trick. Also, you can use either light or dark brown sugar but I would tend to favor dark for this recipe.

Spices

Adding a little flavor to your candied bacon is super easy. For this recipe I decided to go for some warming, aromatic spices. I like to use a simple blend of cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Just mix the spices together and sprinkle them over your bacon before you put it in the oven. If you want a more adventurous flavor, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper. A little goes a long way, so start small and work your way up. Experimenting with different spices will help you find the perfect combination for your tastes!

And if you really want strips of pure candied bacon, just omit any added spices and use only the bacon, maple, and brown sugar.

Prepare the Baking Sheet

You can set this up multiple ways, but I think the setup below is best. It cooks the bacon well, and it makes for an easy cleanup. Start with a rimmed baking sheet. This will be our base that we can move in and out of the hot oven while cooking, flipping, and coating the bacon.

Aluminum Foil

Grab a roll of aluminum and tear off a sheet that’s big enough to cover the bottom of your entire baking sheet.

Carefully lay down the aluminum foil on the baking sheet. Use your hands to lightly press down the edges of the foil against the baking sheet. This will help make sure that the bacon grease doesn’t seep around the foil and make a mess.

Once the baking is finished, you’ll be able to peel up the foil and throw it out. It’s really helpful because the sugars that drip down will likely end up burning in the bottom of the pan.

Wire Rack

A wire rack will help the bacon stay elevated, allowing the hot air to circulate around it. This will help the bacon cook evenly and not get soggy. It’ll help us get as crispy as possible.

If you are looking for some decent wire racks, I bought this two-pack wire rack from Amazon.

Place the wire rack on top of the aluminum foil. Try to center it in the pan. If you don’t have a wire rack, you can always substitute it with something similar, such as a cooling rack – as long as you know for certain that it is oven-safe!

Candied Bacon Recipe Mixed Seasonings

To follow these sugared bacon directions, we’ll mix the spices and seasonings we use into the brown sugar. This will make it so that they can be evenly spread across the bacon. In my recipe below I have a specific mix of cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.

This gives the sugared bacon a little bit of a fall or winter flavor. These spices add a bit of warmth and depth to the flavor. I enjoy this a lot, but you could also just omit the spices and have a straight bacon and sugar flavor.

You could also mix it up by using some different spices in the mix. Try some chili powder, cayenne powder, or chipotle powder for a little spicy kick. Try cardamom, allspice, ginger, or really any other spice or seasoning. As long as you think the flavors would pair well with the sweet bacon.

Just be careful not to go overboard here, otherwise, you may overpower your bacon. Keep track of what spices you use in case you love it and want to recreate the same easy candied bacon recipe again.

I mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves together until they are evenly distributed. Do this with whatever seasonings and spices you decide to experiment with. This helps to ensure that all the pieces of bacon get an even coating of seasoning. And it makes sure the flavor is consistent throughout the dish.

Coating the Bacon

On to finally prepping the bacon. With all of the ingredients out and ready to go, lay the bacon out on the wire rack. Then brush it with a glaze of maple syrup. Finally, sprinkle it with the mixed brown sugar and spices. This is the key to making a delicious, easy-to-make candied bacon recipe properly. Then everything will be ready to cook.

I recommend that you preheat the oven before you start coating the bacon. Then the oven will be hot and ready to go when you’ve finished coating everything.

Lay the Bacon on the Wire Rack

Now that we’ve got the perfect seasoning mix for our candied bacon recipe, it’s time to lay the bacon on the wire rack. This part of the process is so simple, but it’s an essential part of the recipe.

Simply place each bacon strip out on top of the wire rack. I had a little bit of overhang on some of the ends, especially for longer pieces of bacon. Don’t worry too much about this, because the bacon will shrink as it cooks in the oven.

It’s important to make sure the bacon strips don’t overlap each other if possible. Give as much room in between slices as possible so the bacon can get full airflow in the oven. Though, as you can see in my photos, my bacon was a little bit crowded.

Brush the Maple Syrup on the Bacon

Alright, now we’re getting to the fun part – brushing the glaze on the bacon. Grab a basting brush and spread the maple syrup like you’re painting a masterpiece. You’ll want to make sure the bacon is completely covered so you don’t miss any spots.

Brushing the syrup as a glaze over the bacon makes it so that our brown sugar will stick. You don’t need pools of syrup sitting on top of the bacon, just an even, thin glaze.

If you don’t have a good basting brush, you can try using your fingers or some paper towels to try and get similar results.

Sprinkle with Brown Sugar Seasoning

Finally, it’s time to sprinkle the brown sugar mixture over the bacon. I mean, what’s candied bacon without sugar? I simply used a spoon to pick up a small amount of the spiced brown sugar. Then I went over each piece and lightly shook the spoon to rain down the sugary goodness over the bacon.

Just be sure to sprinkle the sugar evenly, so all the bacon pieces get a nice coating.

Once you’ve added the brown sugar, give the bacon one last pat with your hands to make sure the coating is sticking. Now you can go ahead and move on to the next step: cooking.

Note that on this first pass, only one side of our bacon will be covered in the glaze and brown sugar. We’ll be cooking for about half the time, then flipping and coating the second side.

Bake the Bacon

Once the oven is preheated, it’s time to get to cooking. Just pop the baking tray in the oven and let it do its magic. Halfway through, flip it over and brush the second side with a coat of maple syrup, and then sprinkle with the brown sugar mix.

Bake in the Preheated Oven

Alright, now we’ve got our bacon coated, let’s pop it in the oven. Before you do, make sure you preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This is important, as it ensures that your bacon cooks evenly and properly.

With the bacon in the oven, now it’s time for the hardest part: the wait. Depending on your oven, it should take about 30-35 minutes total for your bacon to be cooked. You’ll also want to remember to flip and coat the bacon halfway through the baking time. This will ensure that both sides get coated and have the time for the sugar to melt and stick to the bacon.

Flip and Recoat Candied Bacon

After cooking it for 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Then, carefully flip over every single piece so that the non-coated side is showing. Brush this side with the remaining maple syrup. Then sprinkle the rest of the brown sugar on top.

Pop it back into the oven for another 15 to 20 minutes or so.

You’ll want to keep an eye on the bacon as it cooks since the sugar burns easily. The bottom foil of the pan will burn and blacken as the dripped syrup and brown sugar cook. When the ends of your bacon are just on the edge of looking burnt, it is time to take it out of the oven.

Serving this Candied Bacon Recipe

When it comes to serving candied bacon, the possibilities are nearly endless. I mean, bacon makes everything better. So, sweet candied bacon should make everything even more better, right? Probably not quite everything. Some things don’t really call for the sweetness that this recipe adds.

But there are a bunch of recipes out there that could use candied bacon for a delicious twist.

Candied bacon is a great way to add a salty, sweet, and smoky flavor to dishes. Whether you’re looking for a simple side dish or an impressive main course, the possibilities are endless. Here are some of the best recipes to use candied bacon in.

Candied bacon is a great way to jazz up a salad. I made my fall harvest apple cider cinnamon salad with this bacon specifically in mind. You could also try using this with my pecan and apple salad or my easy apple walnut spring mix salad. To use it in a salad, just chop it up and give it a generous sprinkling over your greens.

For a classic dish, just serve it as a side with some delicious buttermilk waffles. Candied bacon would also be a perfect substitute for regular bacon in my savory and sweet charcuterie waffle skewers. Or add a touch of sugar to a breakfast or brunch quiche Lorraine.

Mix up the classic BLT with candied bacon or try it on your next deli meat sandwich. You can get creative and experiment with unique flavors. Just think of anything that normally uses bacon and could use a little bit of sugary sweetness to round out the flavors.

How to Store Candied Bacon

Now that you’ve got your candied bacon ready to serve, it’s important to know how to store it properly. The best way to store candied bacon is to wrap it in wax paper or parchment paper and place it in an air-tight container or ziploc bag. This will preserve the bacon and help keep it from spoiling.

It will keep in the fridge for up to a week.

If you’re not going to eat the bacon within a few days of making it, you should freeze it. Wrap each piece of bacon in wax paper or parchment paper and place it in an air-tight container or a freezer bag. This will help keep the bacon from getting freezer burn and will help it stay fresh for longer – up to a month.

Note that using the wax or parchment paper will help to keep the candied bacon from sticking to itself.

No matter how you store it, one thing’s for sure – candied bacon is sure to please. And with the right storage techniques, you can keep it fresh and delicious for days – or weeks – to come. So make sure to store it properly and enjoy the sweet and salty flavor of candied bacon any time you want!

Overall, making this easy candied bacon recipe is pretty simple and a fun way to jazz up your regular bacon. With just a few ingredients, you can create a sweet and savory treat that’s perfect for snacking. So next time you’re looking for something new to try, give this candied bacon recipe a go! You won’t regret it.

My wife could never get too much breakfast food in her lifetime. It’s comfort food for her and she loves it. I believe that breakfast foods should be eaten strictly during breakfast or brunchtime. She thinks it is all-day food. So I’ve come up with these fun new charcuterie waffle skewers as a way of tricking myself into having breakfast food for lunch or dinner.

Combining unexpected ingredients like salty meats, sweet fruits, and waffles, this dish is sure to please a variety of palates. You’ve got a plate of assorted meats, fruits, and waffles cut into cubes, all placed on a skewer. These ingredients are then drizzled with maple syrup that brings the entire dish together. The salty and sweet flavors combine to create a sensational experience that will tantalize the taste buds and leave you wanting more.

These charcuterie waffle skewers are a delightful twist on the classic charcuterie board. Whether you’re planning a brunch gathering, or a party, or simply want to elevate your snacking game, these skewers are guaranteed to impress your guests and satisfy your cravings.

So, let’s dive into the world of culinary creativity and discover the magic of savory and sweet delights with our charcuterie waffle skewers recipe.

Make Waffles Like a Pro

Whipping up a batch of delicious waffles isn’t too difficult. Assuming you have a waffle iron. Otherwise, I guess you’re making pancakes.

Now, I may be a little biased, but I think that my buttermilk waffle recipe is the best.

The key to making the perfect waffle is to get the batter just right. The ideal consistency is a thick, creamy batter. To achieve this, my recipe uses whipped egg whites to give volume and fluffiness to the waffles. And be certain that you do not overmix the batter.

Once the batter is mixed, it’s time to start cooking. Many waffle makers will have different settings for doneness, so adjust the setting according to your preferences. I suggest a medium to medium-long cook time for the perfect crispy outside and fluffy inside.

When the waffle maker is preheated, pour the batter into the center of the iron and close it. Cook according to your waffle iron instructions. Allow the waffles to cook until golden brown and crisp (about 4 to 5 minutes in my experience).

When the waffles are finished, cut them into roughly even-sized squares. I mostly used the divots created by the waffle iron as an easy guide for splitting up the waffle. Aim for waffle squares about 2 inches per side.

The Charcuterie Renaissance: Exploring a Delicious Trend

Charcuterie boards have been on trend lately in the cooking world. I think it is mostly because the photos of them look so appetizing with all of the options beautifully laid out. So I wanted to pay my own homage to the trend while still making things my own.

Ditch the board and stuff everything onto a skewer for an easy, yet elegant twist. Introducing charcuterie waffle skewers! These offer the perfect combination of savory and sweet flavors, packed with a mix of delicious ingredients threaded onto a stick. By swapping the traditional charcuterie board for these whimsical skewers, you’ll add a fun and interactive element to your gatherings.

What Is Charcuterie?

Charcuterie is a French term that refers to a method of cooking focused on prepared meats. It comes from French words meaning cooked flesh. It was initially a way to cure, flavor, and preserve meats before refrigeration was available.

A traditional charcuterie board is a platter typically consisting of cured meats, cheeses, and crackers or bread. They’re also usually arranged and presented in a decorative fashion. They have evolved in modern cuisine to include a whole variety of ingredients. Nuts, fruits, spreads, dips, vegetables, and really anything that you think will pair well together on a platter.

And the term charcuterie itself has been taken over in the cooking world to essentially refer to a platter appetizer.

The possibilities are endless when it comes to charcuterie. The variety of meats, cheeses, and accompaniments available today makes it easy to create a unique and delicious combination of flavors and textures. Chefs, cooks, and hosts alike can feel free to get creative with their selections.

Why Waffle Skewers?

So with such endless possibilities, I wanted a unique charcuterie experience.

Waffles. I decided to incorporate the classic breakfast favorite into a charcuterie spread.

I wanted to add a fun twist on waffles. And waffle charcuterie skewers seemed to fit the bill. What’s more, the texture and flavor of waffles add a new dimension to the classic charcuterie board.

Waffle skewers are easy to assemble – just cut the waffles into cubes and skewer them with the other ingredients. You can top your waffle skewers with anything you like, from savory ingredients like cured meats and cheese to sweet toppings like fruit and chocolate. Get creative with it and have fun – the waffle skewers will be sure to be a hit!

Choosing the Right Ingredients for Your Charcuterie Waffle Skewers

To create the perfect charcuterie waffle skewer, it is essential to carefully select the right combination of ingredients. From sweet treats to savory delights, there is something for every palate.

The perfect waffle skewer needs a balance of sweet and savory, and choosing the right ingredients is key. The trick is to try and choose ingredients that complement and contrast well with each other. Also, try to choose ingredients that will skewer well and won’t just crack and break on you. This will make the whole skewer aspect pointless as it will all just fall off.

We know we will have waffles (otherwise they wouldn’t be waffle skewers…). Here are some other ideas and options to consider for both sweet and savory choices. In the recipe card itself, I give instructions to replicate the same skewers I made. But feel free to mix and match the sweet and savory ingredients based on my comments below.

The Sweet Ingredients

When it comes to these charcuterie waffle skewers, the true star of the show is undoubtedly the waffle itself. That’s why we need to carefully consider how each ingredient will harmonize with these scrumptious squares of pure breakfast bliss.

To balance out the flavors and add a touch of natural sweetness, include a selection of fruits such as strawberries, ripe bananas, and crisp apples. These fruits not only provide a delightful burst of freshness but also complement the waffle’s flavor profile beautifully. Feel free to get creative and experiment with other fruits like blueberries, mangoes, and apricots to add more variety and vibrant flavors to your skewers.

For those looking to indulge their sweet tooth, consider adding a touch of decadence with different confections like fluffy marshmallows, soft caramels, rich fudge, or even chocolate. While I haven’t personally tried skewering chocolate, it might be best to reserve it for a drizzling component (as mentioned in a later section of this post) to avoid any potential challenges with skewering.

The Savory Ingredients

Typical charcuterie boards include cured meats like salami, prosciutto, or bresaola. But this is a waffle-inspired dish. So more breakfast-oriented meats are on the menu.

Say hello to the mouthwatering combination of sausage and bacon gracing these skewers, offering a hearty and savory touch. But the options don’t stop there! You can also consider country ham, Canadian bacon, smoked salmon, or even fried chicken to add a touch of chicken and waffles vibes. Or try adding some homemade candied bacon to the mix. These meats infuse the skewers with smoky, savory, and spicy flavors that beautifully complement the sweet elements in this creation.

Finally, no charcuterie-inspired creation is truly complete without the addition of cheese. When it comes to assembling these charcuterie waffle skewers, opt for cheeses that have a slightly higher moisture content to ensure they hold up well on the skewer without crumbling.

Take your taste buds on a journey with a variety of cheese options, such as cubed cheddar cheese, fresh mozzarella, gouda cheese, or creamy brie. These cheeses bring a delightful combination of flavors and textures to the skewers. From the sharp and salty notes of cheddar to the smooth and creamy indulgence of brie, each cheese selection adds a distinct element that perfectly complements the sweet and smoky flavors of the cured meats. Prepare to experience a harmonious marriage of flavors that will leave you craving another bite.

Building Flavorful Layers: Assembling Waffle Skewers with Care

Now it’s time to assemble the glorious charcuterie waffle skewers. Building flavorful layers of waffles, fruits, cheeses, and savory meats requires a little patience and finesse. With that in mind, let’s explore the art of creating the perfect skewers.

Creating the waffle skewers starts with the skewers themselves. You can use disposable wood skewers or these reusable metal skewers I love that are from Amazon. 12-inch skewers seem to me to be the right size. Big enough to fit a fair amount of food, without being too unwieldy. Smaller skewers might also work better with a large spread of foods.

With the skewers in hand, it is time to start threading on the ingredients.

Simply start layering the different ingredients onto the skewers. I typically like to do this with an assembly station of sorts. Have a large platter or baking sheet set out for the finished skewers. Then have the skewers available with bowls of all the ingredients. Then start picking and choosing different ingredients to add.

I don’t typically follow the exact same pattern and like to mix it up with different ingredients next to each other each time. But maybe you’re someone who likes a little more order. Whatever works for you.

Some things may be tricky to skewer or tend to crumble apart as you attempt to stick them. Be gentle and try experimenting to find the best way to put it on. For example – I found that it worked best to skewer the bacon through some of the cooked fat rather than the meat.

Delectable Accompaniments for Charcuterie Waffle Skewers

With charcuterie waffle skewers being the star of the show, it is important to consider what delightful accompaniments can make the dish shine. Here are some ideas to get your mouth watering.

Toppings: Add toppings on the side or on top of the skewers for even more flavor. Have whipped cream, nuts, peanut butter or Nutella spread, and jams or preserves available for your guests.

Drizzles: Try drizzling a sweet syrup on top of the skewers for added flavor. Consider using maple syrup, yogurt, honey, chocolate syrup, or berry syrup. You may want to leave these on the side for dipping or allow individuals to drizzle their preferred topping. Don’t drizzle too early, because the waffles will soak it up and get soggy. Drizzle responsibly.

Sprinklings: Everything is just a bit more fun when you lightly sprinkle something on top. Use toasted shredded coconut, sprinkles, cinnamon, or powdered sugar to create a unique look for your charcuterie waffle skewers.

When it comes to charcuterie waffle skewers, the possibilities are endless. With the right accompaniments, you can create an unforgettable dish that will have your guests raving.

Other Breakfast and Brunch Options

Charcuterie waffle skewers are delicious, but you may want an even bigger spread and more options for a large gathering. Have some drink options available, especially smoothies, milk, and juices:

• Orange Creamsicle Smoothie
• Strawberry Rhubarb Smoothie
• Decadent Hot Chocolate
• Green Kiwi Mango Smoothie

These skewers will pair well with almost any other breakfast food option. Here are a few recipes that you may want to try for a big group:

• Fry Bread Scones
• Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits
• Fully Loaded Breakfast Burritos
• German Pancakes
• Simple Breakfast Crepes
• Apple Crisp
• Quiche Lorraine

Get ready to elevate your waffle game and embark on a culinary journey that will tantalize your taste buds and leave you craving more. Without further ado, let’s dive into the recipe and discover how to make the best buttermilk waffles you’ll ever make.

Buttermilk Waffle Recipe Ingredients

To follow this incredible buttermilk waffle recipe, you’ll need just a handful of simple ingredients that you likely already have in your kitchen. If you’re used to using premade mixes, you may not know what actually goes into making the batter. Here’s what you’ll need to gather:

• All-purpose flour, which will serve as the base of the waffle batter, providing structure and texture.
• Sugar adds a touch of sweetness and balances out the flavors.
• Baking powder provides some of the necessary leavening power, helping the waffles rise and become wonderfully fluffy.
• Baking soda will react with the acidity in buttermilk to add even more leavening power.
• Salt enhances the flavors of everything and will bring out the best in all the other ingredients.
• Buttermilk is the star ingredient that gives these waffles their distinctive tang and incredible tenderness.
• Milk to keep everything from drying out.
• Eggs, which will need to be separated because whipped egg whites are part of the big secret for perfect waffles.
• Vegetable oil keeps things moist and gives the perfect crisp to the exterior of the waffles.
• Vanilla extract to infuse the waffles with a subtle hint of flavor, warmth, and sweetness.

With these simple yet essential ingredients, you’ll be well on your way to creating the best buttermilk waffles you’ve ever tasted. So gather your supplies and let’s dive into the step-by-step process of making these delectable waffles!

Why Buttermilk Is the Secret Ingredient

You might be wondering whether it’s worth the effort to grab buttermilk for these waffles – likely one of the few ingredients you don’t already have on hand. Buttermilk is not only responsible for a slightly tangy flavor but also plays a crucial role in achieving the light and fluffy texture that makes these waffles truly exceptional.

Buttermilk is a fermented dairy product with an acidic taste. This acidity is what sets it apart from regular milk and makes it a game-changer in baking. When combined with the other ingredients in the waffle batter, the acidity of buttermilk reacts with the baking soda, creating a chemical reaction that produces carbon dioxide. The release of carbon dioxide gas forms bubbles throughout the batter, resulting in a light and airy texture when cooked.

Plus, the acidic nature of buttermilk also helps to tenderize the gluten proteins in the flour, preventing them from developing too much and resulting in a tender, melt-in-your-mouth waffle. This ensures that your buttermilk waffles have a delightful, moist interior.

The tangy flavor of buttermilk adds a pleasant and subtle tang that perfectly complements the sweetness of the waffle. It adds a depth of flavor that takes these waffles to the next level, making them far more memorable than your average breakfast treat.

Get ready to indulge in a breakfast experience like no other, as you savor each bite of these tender, fluffy, and tangy delights.

Mixing Up the Batter

Now that you have gathered your ingredients and understood the importance of buttermilk, it’s time to mix up the batter for your delectable buttermilk waffles. Follow these simple steps to achieve a smooth and luscious batter:

In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients: the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix the dry ingredients together until they are well combined and evenly distributed.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the majority of the wet ingredients: buttermilk, milk, vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup of vegetable oil. Make sure to whisk until the wet ingredients are thoroughly blended and the mixture is smooth.

Now, gently crack open the eggs and separate the yolks from the egg whites. Add the yolks in with the wet ingredients and mix them together. Put the egg whites into a separate bowl. Use a hand mixer or whisk to whip the egg whites until they form stiff peaks (it is much easier with the hand mixer…).

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients – keeping the whipped egg whites separate for now. Gently whisk the ingredients together. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense waffles. Some lumps in the batter are ok, so just mix until everything is generally combined and there are no longer pockets of dry ingredients.

Now add the whipped egg whites into the same bowl. Gently use a spatula or wooden spoon to fold the egg whites into the batter. We do this gently to help keep the air in the egg whites that’ll make sure our batter is light and fluffy when baked.

Once the batter is well mixed, let it rest for about 5 minutes. This resting period allows the flour to fully hydrate and ensures a better texture and structure in your waffles.

Now that your batter is prepared, it’s time to move on to the exciting part – cooking the buttermilk waffles!

Preparing the Waffle Iron

The key tool for making waffles is the humble waffle iron.

And before diving into cooking your buttermilk waffles, it’s essential to properly prepare your waffle iron to ensure optimal results. Use the following steps to get your waffle iron ready for action.

Preheat the Waffle Iron. Turn on your waffle iron and allow it to preheat according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This step is crucial as it ensures that the waffle iron reaches the right temperature for even cooking and a crispy exterior.

Wiping with Vegetable Oil. Once the waffle iron is heated, it’s time to give it a light coating of vegetable oil to prevent the waffles from sticking. Grab a pastry brush or a folded piece of paper towel. Dip it into a small amount of vegetable oil. Gently brush or rub the oil onto the cooking surfaces of the waffle iron, and try your best to cover all the nooks and crannies. I repeated this step once in the middle of cooking to make sure nothing would stick.

Follow the Manufacturer’s Instructions. Every waffle iron is different, so it’s crucial to refer to the specific instructions provided by the manufacturer. They may have additional guidelines or recommendations for preparing the waffle iron that are specific to your model.

By preheating your waffle iron and applying a light coating of vegetable oil, you’re setting the stage for waffle success. Now, it’s time to pour that delectable buttermilk waffle batter onto the hot iron and transform it into golden, crispy waffles.

Step-by-step Instructions for Making Buttermilk Waffles

With the batter ready and the waffle iron hot, it’s time to make our perfect, golden waffles. Here’s how you can achieve waffle perfection:

Pouring the Batter: Take a measuring cup or ladle and pour the batter onto the center of the preheated waffle iron. The amount of batter needed will depend on the size of your waffle iron, so refer to the manufacturer’s recommendations. For mine, it ended up being a little over half a cup. But the size and depth of your iron can change that dramatically. Be careful not to overfill the iron, as the batter will spread and rise during cooking. It is better to have a smaller waffle than a full waffle with tons of wasted batter running out the sides.

Cooking the Waffles: Close the waffle iron and let the magic happen. Note that some waffle irons (including mine) need to be turned over after closing them. This helps spread the batter around and typically activates the timers that are built in. Allow the waffles to cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The cooking time typically ranges from 4 to 6 minutes. Make sure the waffles are beautifully golden brown and crisp on the outside.

Removing the Waffles: Once the waffles have reached your desired level of doneness, carefully open the waffle iron. Use a fork or tongs to gently remove the waffles, ensuring that you don’t damage their shape or texture. Serve the waffles immediately or keep them in a warmed oven until all are ready.

Remember to exercise caution while handling the waffle iron, as it will be hot.

Now that your perfectly cooked buttermilk waffles are ready, it’s time to savor the moment. Serve them warm and enjoy the heavenly combination of crispy exteriors and fluffy interiors.

Tips for Making the Perfect Buttermilk Waffle Recipe

To ensure your buttermilk waffles turn out absolutely perfect every time, here are some valuable tips to keep in mind:

1. Don’t Overmix the Batter. When combining the batter and the whipped egg whites, gently fold them together until just combined. Overmixing can lead to tough and dense waffles. It’s okay if there are a few lumps in the batter; they will disappear during cooking.
2. Preheat the Waffle Maker and Lightly Oil with Vegetable Oil. Before pouring the batter, make sure your waffle maker is preheated to the desired temperature according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly oil the waffle maker with vegetable oil to prevent sticking and ensure easy release. This also helps in crisping the outside of the waffles.
3. Serve the Waffles Immediately or Keep Them Warm in the Oven. For the best eating experience, serve the waffles immediately after cooking. Their crisp exterior and fluffy interior are at their prime right off the waffle iron. If you must wait, place them on a wire rack set in a 225°F (110°C) oven. This will help maintain their crispness while you finish baking.
4. Experiment with Cooking Times. Waffle irons vary, so it’s essential to experiment with cooking times to achieve your desired level of crispness. Start with the recommended cooking time, but adjust it if you prefer a lighter or darker waffle.

By following these tips, you’ll be well on your way to making the perfect batch of buttermilk waffles. Enjoy the process, embrace the art of waffle-making, and delight in the delectable results. These tips will ensure your buttermilk waffle recipe is a delicious success.

Variations and Add-ins to Try with Buttermilk Waffles

While classic buttermilk waffles are a delightful treat on their own, why not explore different variations and add-ins to elevate your waffle game? Here are some delicious ideas to inspire your creativity:

Pancakes with chocolate chips are common. So why not try mixing in chocolate chips or cocoa powder into waffle batter? The melted chocolate will create pockets of gooey goodness, making your waffles irresistible.

Add a burst of freshness and natural sweetness to your waffles by incorporating fruits directly into the batter. Consider adding blueberries, strawberries, diced apples, or sliced bananas.

For a delightful crunch and a boost of protein, try adding chopped nuts or toasted coconut to the waffle batter.

Infuse your waffles with the comforting flavors of warm spices. Add a dash of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, or a pinch of cardamom to the batter. Or put maple syrup directly into the batter itself to create waffles with a cozy and aromatic twist.

And if you want a fun, savory twist, experiment with add-ins like grated cheese, cooked bacon bits, or finely chopped herbs such as chives or parsley. These savory variations will make them a perfect base for a savory brunch.

Remember, the possibilities are endless when it comes to customizing your buttermilk waffles. Don’t be afraid to get creative, experiment with different flavors, and make your breakfast or brunch a memorable experience. Whether you prefer sweet or savory, enjoy the journey of creating your perfect buttermilk waffles.

Thin, delicate, buttery goodness that can be paired with toppings to your heart’s content. Learn how to make crepes for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. Basically pancakes that lost weight and got all French and fancy, crepes are a delight.

From batter to pan-frying, the most difficult part of crepe making is getting them perfectly thin. It takes starting off with a thin batter that can spread around the pan. Then working quickly when you add batter to the pan to swirl it evenly around the pan. And finally, making sure not to overcook the crepes.

While you can make savory crepes, I tend to go with sweet toppings and fillings with them. For a more savory breakfast option try breakfast burritos, quiche lorraine, or buttermilk biscuits and sausage gravy.

Dessert for breakfast!

Crepe Making Equipment

You can probably make crepes with the items you currently have in your kitchen. But there are a few more specialized tools to have handy that can help things out.

The first few times that I made crepes, I found it somewhat difficult to just plop the batter down and swirl it to get those perfectly thin pancakes. Maybe my batter wasn’t as good as it is now – you do need just the right consistency.

But I find it helpful to have a squeeze bottle to pour the batter out onto the pan and then swirl it around. It just seems to work better for me.

To make the batter itself, it is easy to use a blender or hand mixer. This will whip things together in no time flat and is a bit easier than hand mixing. Though the tried and true hand mixing method will work if you don’t have either tool available.

You can use a regular frying pan or a special crepe pan – but the special pan is probably only useful if you really plan on making a lot of crepes in your life. So for me, a regular frying pan always works. I recommend a 6 to 8-inch pan to get the perfect size crepes.

Make Crepes Taste Even Better

Let’s face it, you aren’t learning how to make crepes just to roll one up plain and eat it. Though it would still be tasty, crepes are merely vehicles for other fillings and toppings.

As I said above, these are mostly sweet and not savory crepes. And so my toppings and fillings fall in line with the sweetness. And making these always seems like the perfect excuse to eat dessert for breakfast. It is truly a win-win all around.

Fill, top, sprinkle, spread, and mix and match any of the following on your crepes for pure delight:

• Salted Caramel Sauce
• Homemade Whipped Cream
• Triple Berry Syrup
• Cookie Butter
• Sweet & Spiced Ricotta Cheese
• Powdered Sugar
• Banana
• Nutella
• Chocolate Sauce
• Blueberries
• Strawberries
• Raspberries
• Blackberries
• Lemon or Orange Juice

Growing up I would have Knott’s berry syrup with pancakes, waffles, and frybread scones. But now I can’t seem to find pre-made berry syrup anywhere. Luckily, it is very very easy to make your own with this berry syrup recipe. Simple ingredients, easy to make, delicious to eat.

This three-berry syrup recipe includes blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries. This is a great medley, but you could also substitute any of the berries for a different variety. You’ll still have a delicious syrup and you can tailor it to your own tastes, or to the berries that you happen to have on hand.

Breakfasts will not be the same once you learn how to make your own syrup from scratch.

Making the Berry Syrup

The best part about this recipe besides the flavor is the fact that you can use either fresh or frozen berries. Out of season it is difficult to find truly ripe and delicious berries. But I have frozen berries when ripe for use later in the year. And this is a perfect recipe for using your frozen fruit.

To start the recipe, dump all of the ingredients into a saucepan. Turn on the heat and start cooking it while stirring. Then mash all of the berries as much as possible. Use your stirring utensil to mash the berries, or use a potato masher to make mashing them easier. Continue cooking the syrup until it reaches the desired consistency.

When it is done cooking, it can be served as is. But if you want a smooth syrup without any of the seeds and remaining pulp, you can strain it. Strain the syrup through a fine mesh strainer into a separate container.

Once you’ve made the syrup, use it immediately to have it hot. Or chill it in the fridge to serve it cold. And it can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a week while still remaining fresh.

Using the Syrup

Use this berry syrup recipe wherever it seems fit. I will typically use the syrup on pancakes, waffles, angel food cake, vanilla bean ice cream, frybread scones, and crepes. I haven’t tried it but it could be good as a syrup for some mixed sodas.

I highly recommend pairing this syrup recipe with some homemade whipped cream to top pancakes and perfect buttermilk waffles for the ultimate breakfast experience. If you want some sauce options for topping pancakes, make this berry syrup along with some salted caramel sauce for some variety.

Let me know if you have any other great uses for this three berry syrup recipe. I’d love to try it out with anything else. Basically, I just want any excuse to make more of this tasty sauce.

Dutch baby pancake. Dutch puff. I always knew them as German pancakes.

In my mind, these do not really resemble regular old pancakes. I mean these ones are baked in the oven, not on the stovetop. They are also much denser with their ratio of liquids to dry ingredients and a lack of any specific leavening agents. They are something entirely their own – especially when made extra-thick with this recipe.

Grandma used to make these German pancakes for breakfast whenever we came to visit her house in Tucson. I am not sure where or how my grandma first encountered this recipe, but my mom remembers having them when she grew up.

For me, this breakfast is infused with memories of exploring around my grandparent’s house (that always seemed a little mysterious to me as a child) with my sisters. We would discover toys, games, and hiding places after having stuffed our faces with pancakes.

These are great for breakfast, but I will have to admit that most of the time I end up having these on a lazy Saturday for a late-morning brunch.

The German Pancakes Recipe

My grandma handed this recipe down to my mom, and she handed it down to me. But it wasn’t until I had moved out on my own for the first time that I realized I needed this recipe. She ended up having to email the recipe to me, and I wasn’t able to print it out. So, I wrote it down on a tiny scrap of paper that I still keep with all of the other random recipes that I’ve written down, torn out of magazines, or printed out. All of them safely in a plastic page protector.

If you compare the recipe below to this one, then you may notice that it is not quite the same. Though I loved the pancakes as grandma made them, I always liked pieces from the center of the pan that was the thickest. So when I started making them myself I would use a smaller square pan. Then I decided to just double the recipe and make it in the larger baking dish. Hence, they are now extra-thick.

I will note that making them extra-thick does take away some of the fun crazy puffiness that German pancakes are known for. So if you want to see some of that, then halve the recipe, or split this one into two different baking dishes.

Toppings Galore

German pancakes are mostly egg-based. In and of themselves they have a pretty neutral buttery egg flavor that goes well with a whole heap of toppings. Grandma always served them with lemon juice and powdered sugar. So for the longest time that was the only thing I ever had on top.

Eventually I expanded my options and tried some other toppings. But always include powdered sugar. Because it just works.

Try some of the following options:

• Lemon juice and powdered sugar
• Fresh fruit – especially berries of any kind
• Honey
• Jam or preserves
• Caramel sauce
• Any syrup
