Sour Cream Waffles with Fresh Peaches & Toasted Pecan Praline Sauce

I swear every time I turn on the tv Guy Fiere and Bobby Flay have a new cooking show on. I don’t know if you get that new channel called Cooking Channel, but Bobby Flay has a new show called Brunch with Bobby. I kind of like it, because I think breakfast items are the hardest to come up with new ideas. I admire him for using new ingredients, but at the same time it bugs me, because I have to substitute something else because I can’t find that item at the store. I just hate he has to have at least 8 words in the title of of dishes haha.

The waffles came out really nice and fluffy and I liked the sauce and adding in some fresh fruit. Hubby loved it so I’ll be making these again on the weekend.

Toasted Pecan Praline Sauce:
1 cup packed light brown muscovado sugar (I just used light brown sugar)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted
3 ripe peaches, halved, pitted and sliced

Sour Cream Waffles:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
Rounded 1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg or cardamom
1 cup whole milk
1 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons pure cane sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
Nonstick spray or melted unsalted butter, for waffle iron
Confectioners' sugar, for garnish
Sprigs fresh mint, for garnish

For the sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the muscovado, butter and salt.

Cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.

Whisk in the cream and cook for an additional minute, continuing to whisk.

Remove from heat and stir in the pecans and peaches. Keep warm over a double boiler.

For the waffles: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cardamom and in a large bowl.

Whisk together the milk, sour cream, butter, cane sugar, vanilla and eggs in a medium bowl.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry and whisk until just combined.

Let rest for 10 minutes.Preheat a waffle iron and lightly spray with nonstick spray or brush with butter. Add about 1/2 cup of the batter per waffle. Close the lid and wait until the steam has stopped emerging from the cracks of the iron, about 4 minutes. Serve the waffles with the toasted pecan praline sauce, dust with confectioner's sugar and garnish with a sprig of mint.
