Spiced Sour Cream Waffles with Stewed Cranberries

Aroma of fresh made waffles can make any morning special! And if these waffles are ginger spiced sour cream waffles, topped with stewed cranberries, then this is certainly an extra special occasion! 

Valentine's day is coming on Saturday this year, I think... a delicious breakfast in bed will be an excellent way to treat a special someone!

Not just Valentine's day, I would love if someone make me a breakfast in bed, any day of the year! Specially if it's a Saturday then I get so emotional and feel so pampered and special.... and.... and.... okay.... let's not go there....

but seriously, a special breakfast, or I should say a "Waffle Breakfast", does not need a special occasion! Every day is perfect to say "I love you!" with a tray full of warm waffles, salted butter, syrup-y cranberries, and a glass of juice or hot coffee on the side. Kids, adults, or elderly, I haven't met a single person who does not like waffles in breakfast!

Whole Wheat and Ginger, again!?

Whole Wheat Sour Cream Waffles with Cranberries Syrup

Following the advice of my good friend, Mr. Alton Brown, I have added a good serving of whole wheat flour to these waffles. For two reasons, one to get some crusty exterior, and second for some whole wheat goodness.

And ginger! you know! I'm so in love with ginger, specially during winters (a bit in summer too!) Can't help it guys, ginger and garlic are like heart and soul of Indian cuisine (for good reasons)! Day before yesterday, I was talking to you about merits of ginger. Don't worry, I 'm not going give that lecture again, but in one line, "in winters, ginger is your best friend!" Trust voice of Chef De Home! However, if you don't have ginger or your don't like ginger, you can use 1/2 tsp of cinnamon or cardamom powder too.

Additional Notes: Yields about 1/2 cup, stays good for 1-2 weeks in an airtight container.
  • Step for Recipe - Spiced Sour Cream Waffles with Stewed Cranberries 3. Waffle Dry Mix - Mix all dry ingredients, flour (wheat and all purpose), baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a wide bowl and sift to combine. Additional Notes: You can make this batch and use any day when time pressed.
    Step for Recipe - Spiced Sour Cream Waffles with Stewed Cranberries 4. Mix all wet ingredients, sour cream, ginger juice, milk, eggs, vanilla, and butter in a bowl/jar and whisk to mix everything together.

    Step for Recipe - Spiced Sour Cream Waffles with Stewed Cranberries 6. In meantime pre-heat waffle iron. In hot waffle iron, brush butter or spray with oil, then add about 1/2 cup batter per waffle.

Additional Notes: If not serving immediately, you can also preheat oven at 250 degrees Fahrenheit and keep cooked waffles warm while cooking rest.
  • Step for Recipe - Spiced Sour Cream Waffles with Stewed Cranberries 9. Pour some stewed cranberries on stack of waffles. I also serve salted butter on the side. enjoy!
Savita's Notes:

I often freeze a batch of waffles instead of serving store-bought version. To freeze, after making waffles, let'em come to room temperature, then pack in zip-lock bag and freeze for up to 6 months! To reheat, use toaster oven or heat an iron skillet and slightly toast both sides.

Waffle Mix Make Ahead - To reduce the time to make breakfast, mix dry ingredient at night. Also make stewed cranberries at night. In morning, add wet ingredients, make waffles. Serve hot with stewed cranberries and juice of your choice!
