Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cups of cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp of baking powder
  • ¼ tsp of salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup/250 ml of milk
  • 1 can cranberry sauce 348 ml
  • 1 cup of dried cranberries
  • ¼ cup of packed brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • Juice and zest of one large orange
  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 ½ tsp of ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp of nutmeg
  • ¾ cup of melted butter cooled (reserve ¼ cup for brushing onto waffle iron)
Instructions
  1. In large bowl place flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt, and mix together with a fork to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
  2. In a second medium-sized bowl, place cranberry sauce, using a whisk, break up and stir until it becomes smooth.
  3. To the cranberry sauce, add milk, eggs, brown sugar, juice and zest of 1 orange, juice and zest of 1 lemon, cinnamon, nutmeg, cooled melted butter, and 1 cup of dried cranberries. Using the whisk, mix everything together until smooth.
  4. Make a well in the dry mixture of flour and pour in a quarter of the wet mixture. Stir gently together with a whisk. Continue to pour in the wet mixture into the dry mixture in quarter parts and gently mix until mostly smooth. Do not over-mix. Some lumps are ok.

  5. Turn your Waffle Iron on at the highest setting. When ready, brush the iron with a bit of melted butter. This is not necessary, but it helps to achieve a crisp exterior.

  6. Ladle batter onto the base of your waffle maker, a quarter cup at time, making sure to cover the raised peaks of the iron. Close the waffle iron and bake for 4 to 5 minutes per waffle, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Keep waffles warm in the oven at 250°F, while you continue to make the rest of the waffles.

  7. Serve with maple syrup mixed with a squeeze of fresh orange juice.
