Rye Waffles with Blackberry Compote

Servings: 4 waffles

Ingredients

Waffles:

  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1 package dry yeast
  • 1 1/2 cups rye flour
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground all-spice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups warm milk
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Compote:

  • 1 1/4 cup fresh blackberries divided
  • 3 tablespoons ruby red grapefruit juice
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Pinch salt

Instructions

Waffles:

  • In a large mixing bowl - the batter will rise so you need some room - add the water and sprinkle in the yeast. Let it stand for 15 minutes until it becomes nice and foamy.
  • To a small bowl, mix together the rye flour, all-purpose, brown sugar, all-spice and salt. Add the flour mixture, milk and melted butter to the yeast mixture and mix until smooth. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it stand overnight at room temperature.
  • Just before cooking the waffles, beat in the two eggs and baking soda; stir until well mixed. The batter will be fairly thin with a few lumps. Preheat your waffle iron and be sure to brush it with oil or butter (I had some sticking issues!). Pour about 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup batter into the hot waffle iron. Bake the waffles until they are golden and crisp, or according to the directions of your waffle maker.

Compote

  • To a small saucepan, add 1 cup of blackberries, grapefruit juice, sugar, honey and salt. Mix and cook on low for 5-7 minutes. Smash the blackberries with the back of your spoon. Add the remaining 1/4 cup of blackberries and cook for 1-2 minutes more. Take off the heat and set aside.
