How to Make Belgian Buttermilk Almond Waffles With Cinnamon Peach Compote
- Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the chopped almonds.
- Cook waffles according to your waffle iron's instructions, until golden brown and crispy.
- While the waffles are cooking, prepare the peach compote:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced peaches, sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice.
- Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are softened and the sauce has thickened (about 10-15 minutes).
- Serve the waffles immediately, topped with the warm cinnamon peach compote. Enjoy!
- Optional: Add a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of maple syrup for extra indulgence.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
