It’s time for the annual lemon week here on RMK and we are starting with lemon poppyseed waffles with lemon butter syrup! This is seriously one of my favorite weeks to do on the blog. I am a huge lemon fan! I just love that bright citrusy flavor.
With Mother’s Day just around the corner, all of the lemony recipes this week would be perfect to serve mom or recommend to be served as mom.
We are starting off the week with a breakfast recipe. These waffles use the classic combination of lemon paired with poppyseed. Then it gets topped with a amazing lemon butter syrup, fresh berries, and whipped cream.
This is not your normal breakfast waffle and definitely worthy of serving for a special occasion. However, it is also wonderful to have just because it’s spring and lemon is wonderful!
