Blueberry Sauced Waffles

Waffles are wonderful with butter and maple syrup, but they become really special when they are topped with a fruit topping like this blueberry topping and mounds of whipped cream. This is the kind of fare that is served on the brunch buffet at nice restaurants but, prepared at home, is a fraction of the expense and is not difficult to make at all. For this recipe either fresh or frozen berries can be used. This recipe comes from Sunset Ideas and Recipes for Breakfast and Brunch, a wonderful cookbook full of an excellent variety of recipes to help start your day off right. I can't imagine any kid not finding this breakfast very kid-friendly, at least it wouldn't be a problem in our family. The waffle recipe was posted on 4/23/2010. Blessings...

Recipe: 

1/3 cup sugar
1 tbsp. cornstarch
2 cups fresh or frozen, thawed blueberries
2 tbsps. fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup water

1. In a saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch; add the blueberries, lemon juice and water.
2. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until mixture is thickened. Serve warm or cold, but for warm waffles set the sauce aside at room temperature while the waffles are being prepared. This sauce would also be wonderful as a topping on ice cream or other desserts.

Yield: about 2 cups
