Heart-Shaped Waffles with Syrup & Edible Flowers

Heart-Shaped Waffles with Syrup & Edible Flowers

Alexandra | September 23, 2025

The waffle was warm, its edges crisp and golden, shaped like a heart and placed gently on a porcelain plate. Two tiny flowers rested on top, as if spring had stopped by for breakfast. The syrup glistened in the morning light, and the coffee steamed quietly beside it. A wicker basket held soft fabric and a knitted blanket, ready for a slow start. It wasn’t just a meal — it was a moment of softness, a pause wrapped in petals and warmth.

Ingredients:

  • 200g plain flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 250ml milk
  • 60g melted butter (plus extra for greasing)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Syrup (maple or honey) for serving
  • Edible flowers (e.g. elderflower, pansy, chamomile) for garnish

Instructions:

  • Make the batter: In a bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, mix eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Combine wet and dry ingredients until smooth.
  • Cook the waffles: Preheat waffle iron and lightly grease. Pour batter and cook until golden and crisp. Repeat with remaining batter.
  • Serve: Place waffles on plates. Drizzle with syrup and decorate with edible flowers. Serve with frothy coffee, soft blankets, and blooming branches.
