# What You'll Need:

→ Waffle Batter

01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 1 tablespoon baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
05 - 2 large eggs
06 - 1 3/4 cups milk
07 - 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted plus extra for greasing

09 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and diced

→ To Serve (optional)

10 - Whipped cream or yogurt
11 - Maple syrup or honey
12 - Extra sliced strawberries

# How to Make:

01 - Preheat the waffle iron according to manufacturer's guidelines.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, milk, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until fully blended.
04 - Pour wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined; do not overmix. Batter should remain slightly lumpy.
05 - Using a spatula, gently fold diced strawberries into the batter for even distribution.
06 - Lightly grease the hot waffle iron with melted butter. Ladle an appropriate amount of batter onto the iron as directed by the manufacturer.
07 - Close the waffle iron and cook until waffles are golden brown and crisp, typically 3 to 5 minutes per batch.
08 - Serve warm, topped with whipped cream or yogurt, extra sliced strawberries, and maple syrup or honey if desired.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • These waffles hide fresh strawberries in fluffy batter, like finding sweet surprises in every forkful.
  • Leftover waffles become the happiest snack when toasted the next day—if you manage to save any.
02 -
  • If you overmix the batter, your waffles turn out dense—swirling just until combined is the secret.
  • Letting the batter rest for a few minutes makes the texture airier, a tip I learned after impatient mornings.
03 -
  • Always check your waffle iron’s doneness indicator but trust the smell—it tells you more than you think.
  • A pinch of cinnamon or lemon zest in the batter is an easy upgrade that instantly brightens the flavor.
