Equipment

  • star-shaped mini waffle maker (or (1) star-shaped cookie cutter and regular waffle maker--see note below)

Ingredients
  

Waffles
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons malted milk powder
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Brown Sugar Syrup
  • ½ cup (1 stick) butter
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • 1 dash salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • fresh fruit for garnish

Instructions
 

Waffles
  • Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, soda, salt, and malted milk powder into a medium bowl.
  • In another bowl, whisk the egg, vanilla, and buttermilk together. Stir in the butter and mix well.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until incorporated. Do not overmix. If the batter is too thick, add a little more buttermilk.
  • Heat the waffle maker until hot. Then grease it with cooking spray. Pour about 1 1/2 tablespoons of batter into the maker, spreading it out to the edges of the star. Close the lid and cook for about a minute. Then open it to see if the waffle is brown. If it is not brown, cook it for a few more seconds. If it is brown, use a silicone cooking utensil to remove it.
Brown Sugar Syrup
  • Melt butter in a medium-sized saucepan. Add the brown sugar, buttermilk, and salt. Bring to a boil and stir for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and add the vanilla and baking soda. Stir. The mixture will foam from the baking soda.
  • Pour the syrup over the waffles. Garnish with fruit and serve immediately.

Notes

Substitutions

Make star waffles with a cookie cutter. Even if you do not have a star-shaped waffle maker, you can still make star waffles using a regular round waffle maker. When the waffle is cooked, use a star-shaped cookie cutter to cut out a waffle star from the middle. Then use the leftover waffle too. Fill the hole with fruit and whipped cream to give it a festive look.

Yield

This recipe makes 8-10 waffles.
