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 Toppings

  • Whipped cream for serving
  • Fresh strawberries for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the waffle iron: Heat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure it’s properly warmed for even cooking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt, stirring them together until evenly mixed.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, strawberry puree, and vanilla extract, ensuring a smooth and uniform mixture.
  4. Create the batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. The batter should have a slightly lumpy texture, indicating it’s ready for cooking.
  5. Prepare the waffle iron: Spray the hot waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking. Pour the recommended amount of batter onto the iron surface.
  6. Cook the waffles: Close the waffle iron and cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until the waffles turn golden brown and crisp.
  7. Serve: Remove the waffles carefully and serve warm, topped with fresh strawberries and whipped cream if desired.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the waffle batter to keep the waffles light and fluffy.
  • Adjust cooking time slightly based on your waffle iron’s heat and thickness of batter for best texture.
  • Fresh strawberry puree adds natural sweetness and moisture, but you can substitute with frozen strawberries if fresh are not available.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.
