These delightful waffles bring a burst of lemony freshness to your breakfast table, perfect for a cozy morning treat.
Whisk together the eggs and sugar in a mixing bowl until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
Using room temperature eggs helps them whip up more easily and achieve a fluffier texture.
Sift the flour into the egg mixture and gently fold it in.
Folding gently prevents the batter from losing its airiness.
Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and sour cream to the batter, folding until just combined.
Ensure the lemon zest is finely grated for even distribution of flavor.
Melt the butter and stir it into the batter. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
Resting the batter allows the gluten to relax, resulting in tender waffles.
Preheat the waffle iron until hot. Pour a ladleful of batter into the center and close the lid.
Avoid overfilling the waffle iron to prevent batter from spilling out.
Cook the waffles until golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Do not open the waffle iron too early to ensure even cooking.
Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream or fresh berries.
For a special touch, dust the waffles with powdered sugar before serving.
