Even though it doesn’t seem like it on my blog, I’ve been getting a lot of use from my waffle maker. Usually, it’s the simple buttermilk waffles, but sometimes I get a little fancy.
Bring on these fancy pants lemon poppyseed waffles. They were so fancy that I had to go out and buy poppy seeds and a zester. I don’t own these things because I don’t like lemon desserts. No lemon desserts, no zester needed. However, my DB loves lemon goods, so I whipped these up for breakfast one day.
The lemon flavor was a bit tame, which worked for me. The poppy seeds were a nice addition to the normal, plain jane, waffles. Recipe from Epicurious.
