Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 3/4 cups milk
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• Maple syrup, for serving

How to Make Classic Waffles with Strawberries

1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well to combine.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
5. Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or a little melted butter.
6. Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron (about 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on your waffle iron size) and close the lid. Cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions, typically for about 4-5 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.
7. Carefully remove the waffle and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
8. Serve the waffles warm, topped with sliced fresh strawberries and drizzled with maple syrup.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your baking powder is fresh for maximum fluffiness.
• For crispier waffles, let the cooked waffles rest on a wire rack for a minute before serving.
• Adjust the amount of sugar based on your sweetness preference or the ripeness of your strawberries.

Easy Variations

• Add a teaspoon of cinnamon to the dry ingredients for a warm spice flavor.
• Mix in chocolate chips or blueberries to the batter for a fruity twist.
• Substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a nuttier taste.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy bacon or sausage links for a savory balance.
• Greek yogurt or whipped cream for added creaminess.
• A sprinkle of powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
