Lemon-Poppy Seed Waffles with Blueberry Sauce

This recipe comes from "The Little RoosterCafe" in Manchester Center, Vermont. The flavors of lemon and blueberry seem to go hand in hand, and that's definately the case in this breakfast treat. Top with maple syrup, if you prefer.

I saw this recipe in Bon Appetit years ago, and when I want to wow family or guests, this is what I make them for breakfast. It basically tastes like a combination of a poppy seed muffin and a blueberry muffin, but hot and slightly crispy. These are even good left over with a little ice cream on top for a sweet treat after dinner!Reply
