Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Toppings

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • Whipped cream (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat waffle iron: Plug in and heat your waffle iron according to manufacturer instructions to ensure it’s hot and ready for the batter.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined to ensure even distribution.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, whisking until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  4. Combine wet and dry mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix to keep waffles tender.
  5. Cook waffles: Lightly grease the waffle iron if needed. Pour enough batter to cover the waffle iron surface evenly, close the lid, and cook until waffles are golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes depending on your waffle iron.
  6. Serve: Remove waffles carefully, top with fresh sliced strawberries and whipped cream if desired. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay to keep waffles light and fluffy.
  • If using frozen strawberries, thaw and drain excess moisture to avoid soggy waffles.
  • For crispier waffles, preheat the waffle iron thoroughly and do not open it during cooking.
  • Butter or non-stick spray can be used to grease the waffle iron to prevent sticking.
  • Leftover waffles can be frozen and reheated in a toaster for convenience.
