Description

Ingredients

• 480 grams all purpose flour
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 2 teaspoons finely ground earl grey tea + 2 bags for steeping
• 200 grams dark brown sugar
• 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 large eggs, room temperature
• 170 grams (12 tablespoons) melted butter, at room temperature
• 240 grams whole milk
• 240 grams buttermilk
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• honey to taste (I like about 3 tablespoons)

Directions

• Bring the milk to a simmer, remove from the heat, and add in the two tea bags. Let steep for about 5 to 10 minutes. Remove tea bags, squeezing them gently to get flavor out. Set the milk tea aside.
• Meanwhile as the milk steeps, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and ground tea in a large mixing bowl.
• In another mixing bowl combine the dark brown sugar, vanilla, eggs, butter, buttermilk, and the cooled milk tea. Stir to combine thoroughly.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir to combine until no dry bits remain. Dont over stir the batter, a few lumps are fine.
• Heat your waffle iron and cook waffles according to the manufacturers instructions.
• While the waffles cook, whip your cream lightly in a stand mixer or with a hand mixer. You can obviously just do it by hand but that will take a little elbow grease. Its what I usually do so I can tell myself I worked out while making waffles. Once it reaches soft peaks, gently whisk the honey in by hand. Whipped cream should be soft and fluffy, not stiff and over-whipped.
• You can keep waffles warm in a low oven while you wait for them all to cook, but theyre best served hot and crispy right off the iron.
• Enjoy with coffee or tea, whatever your poison be!
