Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 cup Sliced Almonds, Toasted; 3 Tablespoons Almond Paste; 2 cups Whole Milk; 1 cup Sour Cream; 1 Tablespoon Almond Extract; 4 Large Eggs; 3 cups All-purpose Flour; 1/2 cups Granulated Sugar; 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder; 1-1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt; 1/4 cups Poppy Seeds; 1/2 sticks Butter, Melted; Whipped Butter, For Serving; Maple Syrup For Serving

Servings: persons

1 cup Sliced Almonds, Toasted
3 Tablespoons Almond Paste
2 cups Whole Milk
1 cup Sour Cream
1 Tablespoon Almond Extract
4 Large Eggs
3 cups All-purpose Flour
1/2 cups Granulated Sugar
1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
1-1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
1/4 cups Poppy Seeds
1/2 sticks Butter, Melted
Whipped Butter, For Serving
Maple Syrup For Serving

1
Heat the oven to 200u00b0F.
2
In a dry skillet, toast almonds over medium heat, tossing often to evenly brown. Remove from heat immediately and place on a plate for serving.
3
Place the almond paste in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Add the milk, sour cream, almond extract, and eggs. Whisk until well-blended and smooth.
4
In a separate large mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and poppy seeds. Whisk well to thoroughly combine.
5
Slowly pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients while gently stirring, and mix just until combined. (Don't overmix or the waffles will be tough and chewy). The mixture will be a little lumpy (and that's okay; if you have pockets of flour bigger than a dime, smash them against the side of the bowl to break them apart without having to stir the batter more).
6
Pour in the melted butter and gently mix with a spoon just until incorporated.
7
If using an electric griddle or waffle maker, set the heat to 350u00b0F. Spray the griddle or waffle maker with cooking spray.
8
Ladle batter onto the waffle maker and cook until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter. Keep the waffles warm on a heatproof platter or baking sheet in the oven.
9
Serve with whipped butter, maple syrup and sprinkle with toasted almonds.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
