We hope everyone had a nice Fourth of July! We enjoyed these waffled during our holiday weekend. We absolutely love them! These waffles are easy to make and easy to cook! I use the Breville Waffle Maker It is amazing! But any waffle maker will work. Feel free to make your waffles as light or as dark as possible. I like them on the lighter side! Light and fluffy!
You will also notice below my new and gorgeous Rose Gold flatware by Fortessa. They were a bridal shower gift to me from Jake. Isn’t he just too thoughtful and so sweet?
Start by preheating your waffle iron according to the manufactures instructions. If using the Breville waffle maker, I set mine to Belgian style. Then mix your dry ingredients in a large bowl. Set aside and mix your wet ingredients. Combine the wet with the dry ingredients, lightly incorporating. Spray your waffle iron with a little bit of cooking spray to avoid the waffles sticking. Cook according to the box instructions.
To make the syrup, toast pecans in a small skillet for just a minute or two. Add syrup to a small pot with the bourbon. Simmer just enough to just burn off some of the bourbon. Add the pecans, then top the waffles with the syrup. Top the waffles with any fruit of choice.
