You know me and my love affair with butter syrup. This Lemon Poppyseed Syrup was totally amazing on these waffles. The sweet & sour combination was amazing together with these waffles! (Don’t worry, they would be great with regular syrup too 🙂


- 2 cup white flour
- 2 1/2 cup wheat flour
- 1/2 cup powdered milk
- 2 cup water (or 2 c. milk and no powdered milk)
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup oil
- 6 eggs
- 2 Tbs. baking powder
- 1 stick butter
- 2 cup sugar
- 2 tsp. poppyseeds
- Juice and zest of one lemon
- 1/4-1/3 cup evaporated milk
- Waffles: In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, oil, sugar, salt, and powdered milk (or use regular milk instead of water and powdered milk). Whisk until eggs are blended. Add the water, baking powder and flour(s). Mix until combined (don't over mix). Pour batter onto a hot waffle iron and cook until golden brown. Serve with maple syrup, butter syrup or the Lemon Poppyseed syrup below.
- Syrup: In a sauce pan, begin cooking on low heat the butter and sugar. Simmer on low until the sugar begins to dissolve. Add the evaporated milk, lemon zest, lemon juice and poppyseeds. Simmer on low until the syrup is smooth and begins to thicken.
Shandra,
Are you able to can your syrup any? I am interested in your poppyseed syrup, but would want to can it.

Sandi,
That is a great question. I have never canned any of my syrups, but I am sure you could try. Even easier than canning it, would be to freeze it in small tupperwares for later recipes/meals. The good thing about these syrups are they come together in just a few minutes and store easily in the fridge for 1-2 weeks.
Good luck and let me know if canning the syrup works if you try that 😉
