Yes. More breakfast. If biscuits, bacon, and eggs aren’t your thing then how about some wonderfully flavoured waffles? It’s all thanks to Gourmet and this fabulous recipe. If you’ve got more of a sweet tooth then whip up a batch of these. I promise, they’re easy peasy. So easy, in fact, that I made them on a weekday and didn’t even have to get up early or anything. No excuses. Make some this weekend.
The sour cream gives these a different texture than you usually get with buttermilk batter – smooth and dreamy. The cardamom adds just a pop of brightness and is much less apparent than in these cardamom oatmeal pancakes. Subtlety is key here and makes the addition of blueberry preserves on top stand out with a big, fat pop!*
