Step 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, Florida Crystals® Organic Raw Cane Sugar, baking soda, and salt and set aside.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla and then add to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined (it’s okay if the batter is still a little lumpy).
Step 3
Heat your waffle iron and spray with a non-stick pan spray, then pour the waffle batter onto the hot iron and cook according to manufacturer's instructions. Repeat with the remaining waffle batter. Note: most waffle makers will cook your waffles in about 4-5 minutes.
Step 4
Keep your waffles warm and crispy by placing them on a baking sheet in the oven set to about 200°F.
Step 5
Waffles are best eaten the same day.
For the ombre waffle effect: cook the first waffle with the plain waffle batter. Then add in a small amount of the strawberry powder until the color changes slightly, then cook the next waffle. Keep adding in a small amount of strawberry powder before each new waffle. For two stacks, add in more powder after every two waffles, etc.
Step 1
Place the strawberries and water in a medium sized saucepan over low heat.
Step 2
Let them simmer gently for about 15-20 minutes or until the strawberries are soft and have lost most of their color. The water should be deep red in color.
Step 3
Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the strawberry water into a separate pot and discard the strawberries.
Step 4
Bring the strawberry water up to a boil and simmer until it has reduced by about half (roughly ½ cup).
Step 5
Add in the Florida Crystals® Organic Raw Cane Sugar and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Step 6
Remove from the heat and let cool completely to room temperature.
Step 7
Store the syrup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a month.
Step 1
Using a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or a large bowl and hand mixer, combine the whipping cream, Florida Crystals® Powdered Raw Cane Sugar, and vanilla.
Step 2
Beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
Step 3
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
