Honey Bran Waffles with Strawberries, Lime Basil and Maple Yogurt

Honey Bran Waffles

 

Whisk together in a large bowl:

¾ cup all purpose flour

¾ cup whole wheat flour

½ cup course wheat bran

2 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon baking soda

 

Whisk together in another bowl:

1 ½ cups buttermilk

1/3 cup honey

½ cup butter melted

2 eggs

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

 

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Combine with a few swift strokes of a whisk. Pour 1 cup of batter into a waffle iron and cook until done.

 

For the strawberries:

1 quart of Bowman Orchards strawberries, de-hulled and quartered

1 bunch of lime basil from Barber's Farm, de-stemmed and chopped

1 tablespoon canola oil + 1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar

2-4 tablespoons of honey, or to taste

Pinch salt

1 six ounce container of Argyle Cheese Farmer maple flavored whole milk Greek yogurt

 

Combine all the ingredients except for the yogurt in a large bowl. At this point you may be happy with the flavor of the berries but they can re-seasoned to suit your individual preference. Adding more vinegar will give the berries a tart edge. The addition of honey will add sweetness and the oil will impart a richer mouth feel.

 

To assemble:

Cut each waffle and place on a plate. Spoon the berries on top and garnish with the maple yogurt
