Blueberry cheese waffle
Ingredients
. 2 cups all-purpose flour
. 2 tbsp sugar
. 1 tbsp baking powder
. 1/4 tsp salt
. 1 and 3/4th cup milk
. 3 tbsp vegetable oil
. 2 tsp vanilla extract
. 1 tsp almond extract
. 2 tbsp spoon blueberry filling
. 2 tbsp spoon cream cheese
Method
Whisk all the dry ingredients together, before adding milk and oil and vanilla and almond extract to form a batter. Store it in the refrigerator for at least an hour to ferment. In a waffle machine, spread the butter with a silicon brush and pour the batter evenly. Cook the waffle at 170 degrees with the timer switched on. Once ready, keep it aside in a bowl. Mix the blueberry filling with cream cheese and spread it over the waffle like a sandwich spread. Garnish with your choice of sprinklers and serve.
