Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 1 cup buttermilk (or milk + 1 tsp vinegar/lemon juice)

• 1 egg

• 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for waffle iron)

• 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

1. Preheat Waffle Iron

3. Mix Wet Ingredients
   In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.

4. Combine
   Gently stir wet ingredients into the dry. A few small lumps are fine—don’t overmix!

5. Fold in Blueberries

Pro Tips

• Rest the batter: 5–10 minutes makes them even fluffier.

• Fresh > frozen: Fresh blueberries hold texture better.

• High heat = crispy: A hot waffle iron ensures crunch.
