Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat Waffle Iron: Heat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure it is hot enough for perfectly cooked waffles.
  2. 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.
  3. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, strawberry puree, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
