- 200 g (1 2/3 cups) all-purpose flour

Instructions

Tips
Blend the cottage cheese and butter until completely smooth — any lumps will keep the waffles from crisping evenly. Waffle technique guides at Serious Eats explain how batter texture affects the final crunch.
Preheat the waffle iron fully and brush it lightly with oil between batches so each waffle releases cleanly with deep golden grooves.
Dust with powdered sugar and add the berries just before serving so the waffles stay crisp. For more brunch-spread ideas, browse the breakfast collections at Allrecipes.
