Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ¾ cups milk
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup fresh cherries, pitted and halved
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
How to Make Stacked Waffles with Berries and Cream
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Grease with a little cooking spray or melted butter, if necessary.
- Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron (about ½ to ¾ cup, depending on the size of your iron) and close the lid. Cook until golden brown, usually around 4-5 minutes.
- Carefully remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the waffles on a plate as you go.
- While the waffles are cooking, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together in a mixing bowl until soft peaks form.
- To serve, stack 2-3 waffles on a plate, top generously with whipped cream, and add the fresh strawberries and cherries on top. Drizzle with more cream if desired.
Tips for the Best Results
For the fluffiest waffles, avoid overmixing the batter. If you want to add a hint of flavor, consider incorporating a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg into the dry ingredients. Always check your waffle iron’s instructions for optimal cooking times and temperatures.
Easy Variations
- Swap out the berries for bananas, blueberries, or raspberries for different flavor profiles.
- Add chocolate chips to the batter for a sweet twist.
- Experiment with flavored extracts, like almond or maple, instead of vanilla.
What to Serve With It
- Crispy bacon or sausage for a savory contrast.
- A side of yogurt or cottage cheese for added protein.
- Freshly squeezed orange juice or a fruit smoothie for a refreshing drink option.
Storage and Reheating
Leftover waffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply pop them in the toaster or warm them in the oven at 350°F until heated through.
