Pecan Waffles
Ingredients: King Arthur Cake Flour, baking powder, baking soda, kosher salt, sugar, butter, buttermilk, eggs, vanilla extract, whole pecans (toast and chop), maple syrup, frozen cherries.

Directions: In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. 2 cups of cake flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of salt, 2-3 tablespoons of sugar. In a second bowl, mix together 1¾ - 2 cups of buttermilk, 3 eggs, a ½ cup (one stick) of butter, 1 teaspoon of vanilla.

Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until it’s combined and smooth; a few tiny lumps are okay. Do not over mix the batter because it will cause gluten to form and create tough waffles. Set the batter aside to rest while the waffle maker heats. When the waffle maker is ready, pour a ½ cup of batter and add approximately 2 tablespoons of toasted, chopped pecans on top. The waffle will be ready once the steam from the waffle maker comes to a near stop.

For cherry maple syrup, heat 1 cup of maple syrup and ½ a cup of frozen cherries on medium in a small saucepan until the syrup lightly bubbles. Take the pan off the heat, steep for 30 minutes to an hour before preparing/serving waffles.
