The story of Buttermilk Waffles with Berries, Ice Cream and Buttermilk Syrup long time ago, my daughter Brookie played volleyball. It was a tradition with her jr high team to eat waffles and ice cream for team breakfasts. Those early morning team gatherings in our kitchen were a whirlwind of giggling, sugar, and the scent of waffles cooking before the girls ran out the door to make it to class.
If you love waffles and whipped cream, you’re going to love waffles and ice cream.
One bowl, one waffle iron.
So simple.
So good.
Buttermilk Waffles with Berries, Ice Cream and Buttermilk Syrup
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, beaten
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- nonstick vegetable spray for coating waffle iron
- berries
- vanilla ice cream
- Buttermilk Syrup
- 1/2 cup butter, not margarine
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Waffles: 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 with fork or large spoon (don’t over mix the batter). The batter should look slightly lumpy.
- Spray the waffle iron with the nonstick vegetable spray. Pour 3/4 cup of the batter or the amount recommended by the waffle-iron maker onto the waffle iron; bake as directed by the manufacturer.
- Top waffles with fresh berries, buttermilk syrup and ice cream.
- Syrup: Heat butter, buttermilk, and sugar in a saucepan. Heat until boiling, stirring often. Boil for about 1 minute. Remove from heat and add vanilla and baking soda. Stir until combined. Serve immediately. Refrigerate any leftovers.
Notes
-I usually double the waffle batter and the buttermilk syrup for a family of 6.

The buttermilk syrup recipe is hands down, the best!!! I must serve this with any and all pancakes, waffles and French toast! We love it!

This is my go to recipe for waffles. I like that I don’t need to beat the egg whites separately but they still turn out fluffy inside and crispy on the outside. I also love your Liege waffle recipe. My daughter served a mission in Belgium/Netherlands and Liege waffles are a favorite of our family.

Up there with one of my favorite waffle recipes. I’ve made it multiple times. One batch feeds a family of three with one or two waffles to put in the toaster the following morning! Crunchy on the outside (like I love), super fluffy on the inside. I can never find cake flour at the store so I make my own following ABK’s directions on how to make it. Quick, so good, and worth it!

This is definitely one of our family favorite recipes as well. I love the crunchy outside and fluffy inside, there’s nothing better! Thanks for sharing, Rachel.

Can you use AP flour instead of cake?

Kristine,
You may, but the Cake flour definitely makes a difference. You can also make your own at home. For every 1 cup of AP flour, remove 2 tablespoons of flour and replace with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. Sift a few times, 3-5 and then remeasure for use.
hope this helps!

Yumm….I do a version of this cream syrup but we've never had it with ice cream. It looks like dessert and breakfast rolled into one.
