Belgian Waffles
Ingredients:
2 cups cake flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 cup milk
2 eggs
1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
Nonstick vegetable spray for coating waffle iron
Confectioners' sugar
Fresh berries
Whipped cream, recipe follows
Ice cream, optional
Whipped Cream:
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon confectioner' sugar
1 tablespoon maraschino liqueur or Kirsch (for a non-alcoholic substitution, use
1 teaspoon vanilla extract)
Directions:
Preheat a waffle iron. In a large bowl, stir together the dry ingredients. Make a well
 in the center and add the buttermilk, milk, eggs, and melted butter. Mix together just
 until combined (DON'T OVERMIX THE BATTER!). The batter should look slightly lumpy.

Spray the waffle iron with the nonstick vegetable spray. Pour 1/2 cup of the batter
or the amount recommended by the waffle-iron maker onto the waffle iron; bake as
directed by the manufacturer.

Whipped Cream: In a chilled bowl, whip the cream until slightly thickened, about 2
minutes. Add the sugar and maraschino. Whip to soft, fluffy peaks, about 2 minutes.

Dust finished waffles with confectioners' sugar and top with fresh berries, whipped
cream, or ice cream, if desired. Serve hot off the griddle.
