Valentine s Day Waffle Board with Fresh Berries: Shatter Crisp

Instructions:

1. Whisk dry. Combine the flour, sugar, and baking powder in a large bowl.
2. Mix wet. In a separate jug, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth.
3. Combine gently. Pour the wet into the dry. Stir until just combined. A few lumps are okay; overmixing leads to tough, rubbery waffles.
4. Heat iron. Brush your waffle maker with a little extra butter and wait for it to be screaming hot.
5. Cook waffles. Pour about 1/2 cup of batter in and cook for 5 minutes until golden and crackling.
6. Whip cream. While the waffles cook, beat the heavy cream until it holds stiff peaks.
7. Prep fruit. Wash and dry the berries thoroughly. Pat them dry with a paper towel to prevent bleeding.
8. Place bowls. Put your maple syrup, Greek yogurt, and chocolate chips into small bowls and place them on the board first.
9. Layer waffles. Fan the warm waffles across the board, leaving space for the fruit.
10. Fill gaps. Pile the Berries for a Delicious Brunch Party in the empty spaces, tucking them around the bowls and waffles.
