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
• 1/4 cup sugar (for the strawberry sauce)
• 1 cup whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)

How to Make Classic Waffles with Strawberry Sauce

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Grease it lightly if necessary.
5. Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, using about 1/2 cup of batter for each waffle. Close the lid and cook until golden brown, usually about 5 minutes.
6. While the waffles are cooking, prepare the strawberry sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced strawberries and 1/4 cup of sugar over medium heat. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries soften and release their juices.
7. Once the waffles are done, remove them from the waffle iron and keep them warm in a low oven (about 200°F) while you cook the remaining waffles.
8. To serve, stack the waffles on a plate, drizzle with the warm strawberry sauce, and top with a generous dollop of whipped cream.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your baking powder is fresh for the best rise.
• Don’t overmix the batter; a few lumps are fine.
• Preheat your waffle iron thoroughly to ensure crispy edges.
• For a twist, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.

Easy Variations

• Substitute blueberries or raspberries for strawberries in the sauce.
• Add chocolate chips or nuts to the batter for extra flavor.
• Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup for added sweetness.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy bacon or sausage for a savory contrast
• Freshly squeezed orange juice or coffee
• A fruit salad for a refreshing side
• Yogurt for a creamy, tangy addition
