Instructions



1. Prepare the topping: Place the blackberries in a medium bowl. Sprinkle the granulated sugar over them and stir gently to combine. Using a wooden spoon, mash the berries to bring out their juice. Let stand at room temperature until ready to serve.
   
   
2. Prepare the waffles: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees (F). Preheat a waffle iron. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and baking soda. In another medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt, milk, eggs, butter and lemon zest. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring to form a smooth batter.
   
   
3. Lightly grease or spray the grids of the waffle iron. Follow the manufacturer's instructions, or spoon about 1/3 cup of batter (amount varies with size of iron) onto the hot iron and spread it almost to the corners of the grids. Close the lid and bake for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown, their edges look dry, and they do not stick to the grids. Transfer the baked waffles to the oven, placing them directly on the rack so they will stay crisp. Repeat with remaining batter.
   
   Transfer the waffles to serving plates and top each serving with the blackberries. Dust with confectioners' sugar, if desired. Set out additional lemon flavored yogurt or unsweetened whipped cream to serve with the waffles.
   
   Makes 8 to 10 waffles.
