Ingredients

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

• 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 bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
5. Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or a brush of melted butter.
6. Pour the appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron, usually about 1 cup, depending on your iron’s size.
7. Close the waffle iron and cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.
8. Carefully remove the waffles and keep them warm in a low oven while you repeat with the remaining batter.
9. Serve warm, topped with fresh strawberries and a generous drizzle of maple syrup.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your waffle iron is fully preheated for crispy edges.
• Don’t overmix the batter; a few lumps help keep the waffles light and fluffy.
• For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients.
• Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best taste.

Easy Variations

• Replace strawberries with other berries such as blueberries, raspberries, or sliced bananas.
• Add chocolate chips or nuts to the batter for a delicious twist.
• For a healthier option, substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
• Drizzle with honey or chocolate sauce instead of maple syrup for a different flavor profile.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy bacon or sausage for a savory contrast
• Whipped cream for a decadent touch
• Greek yogurt for added protein and creaminess
• Fresh mint leaves for a refreshing garnish
