Lemon Meringue Waffles with Strawberry Syrup
I should have called these Lemon "Meringue-less" because there is no meringue but I did use the Lemon custard that you would find in Lemon Meringue pie. Meringue is not my favorite - too sweet for my taste - but you could make a Meringue cookie & place on top of this waffle!
I used the Belgian Waffle maker that was a gift from my parents - click HERE to view.

The recipe that I'm sharing today is just for the Lemon Custard Dollop - I will share my waffle batter recipe in a different post.
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
3/4 cup water
2 egg yolks (lightly whisked)
2 tablespoons butter
juice from 1 large lemon
1 teaspoon lemon rind (grated)
Waffles
Strawberry Syrup (click HERE to learn how to make your own Strawberry Syrup)
In a medium saucepan combine the sugar & cornstarch. Slowly add the water while stirring all the time. Place on medium heat and stir until it comes to a boil - then remove the pan from the heat. Now you will need to "temper" the yolks - take 1/3 of the hot mixture & whisk into the egg yolks (whisking all the time until combined) - now add this egg yolk mixture into the remaining hot mixture in the saucepan & whisk until combined. Return to the heat & boil for 1 minute. Turn off the heat & stir in the butter, lemon rind & lemon juice - stir until the butter has melted & is totally mixed in.
