Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed (reserve some for topping)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional
- Whipped cream for serving
- Preheat Waffle Iron: Heat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure it is hot enough for perfectly cooked waffles.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to distribute all the ingredients evenly.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, strawberry puree, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy to keep the waffles light and fluffy—avoid overmixing.
- Cook Waffles: Spray the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray. Pour the recommended amount of batter onto the heated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for about 4-5 minutes or until the waffles turn golden brown.
- Serve: Remove the waffles carefully, serve warm, and top with reserved fresh strawberries and whipped cream if desired for added flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Use Fresh Strawberries: Fresh, ripe strawberries provide the best flavor and vibrant color for your waffles.
- Adjust Sweetness: To suit your taste, increase the sugar if you prefer a sweeter waffle.
- Strawberry Puree: For a stronger strawberry flavor, blend extra strawberries into the batter.
- Don’t Overmix: Stir the batter just until combined to keep waffles light and fluffy.
- Test Doneness: Check your waffles a minute before the timer to avoid overcooking and ensure perfect texture.
