Lemon Waffles with Blueberry Sauce

We all woke up pretty hungry this morning, so I thought I'd share breakfast :)  This is a super easy way to make ordinary waffles from a mix into something really delicious!


For the sauce:

2 cups frozen blueberries, thawed (strawberries or raspberries would work too)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
fresh juice from 1/2 lemon
water as needed (add 1 tbsp at a time)

Thaw 2 cups of frozen blueberries (frozen strawberries or raspberries work well too).  Put in a blender.  Zest one lemon and set zest aside for waffle mix.  Add the juice from one half of a lemon (save the other half for the waffle mix...see below).  Start to blend on low.  Depending on how much liquid was in the berries and lemon, you may need to add water to thin out the sauce.  Add water, 1 tbsp at a time, until the sauce is thin enough to pour easily.  Once you have reached this consistency, add 1/2 C of powdered sugar and blend thoroughly.  This sauce is good both cold and warm, whichever you prefer.

For the waffles:
Use your favorite store-bought mix and make according to directions.  To it, add about half a lemon worth of fresh juice and the zest from one whole lemon.  (To make zest, grate the unpeeled citrus with as fine a grater as you have.  The finer, the better.)  Mix together and cook as you normally would.  You can do the same to pancakes.
