Decadent Blueberry Compote-Stuffed Waffles

1.In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

2.In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

3.Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

4.Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

5.While the waffle iron is heating, prepare the blueberry compote. In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, water, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring gently until the blueberries start to burst and the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

6.Once the waffle iron is ready, pour a ladleful of batter onto the center of the iron. Use the back of the ladle to spread it slightly, then add a spoonful of the blueberry compote in the center of the batter. Top with another ladleful of batter to cover the compote completely.

7.Close the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until the waffles are golden brown and crispy, usually about 4-5 minutes.

8.While the waffles are cooking, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until soft peaks form.

9.Once the waffles are done, carefully remove them from the waffle iron and serve immediately, topped with additional blueberry compote and a generous dollop of whipped cream.
