Ingredients
For the Waffle Batter:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Raspberry Panna Cotta Topping:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon raspberry jam
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Waffle Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar. In another bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Step 2: Cook the Waffles
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the center of the iron and cook for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing the iron as needed.
Step 3: Prepare the Raspberry Panna Cotta Topping
In a medium saucepan, whisk together heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in raspberry jam and fresh raspberries.
Step 4: Assemble the Waffles
Place a cooked waffle on a serving plate or individual plates. Spoon a generous amount of the raspberry panna cotta topping over the top of the waffle, followed by additional fresh raspberries. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.
Tips and Variations
- For an extra-decadent treat, drizzle a small amount of chocolate sauce over the top of each waffle.
- Substitute other types of jam or preserves for a different flavor combination.
- If you're feeling adventurous, try adding a splash of liqueur (such as Grand Marnier or Cointreau) to the raspberry panna cotta topping.
