These light, buttermilk waffles have fresh blueberries cooked right into them. They are tender and moist, with a good buttery flavor to them that sets off the blueberries very well. They are not very sweet on their own, despite the inclusion of the berries, which means that you can indulge yourself with as much maple syrup as you like when you sit down to enjoy a big plateful. Stick with fresh blueberries if you can, because frozen berries will add a lot of extra moisture to your waffles and could make them a bit too moist in the center as they defrost during cooking.
