Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1.75 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh strawberries (sliced)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (for whipped cream)
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs and then whisk in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be slightly lumpy.
Lightly grease your waffle iron with a non-stick cooking spray or brush it with butter.
Pour the recommended amount of batter into the preheated waffle iron (usually about 1/2 to 2/3 cup, depending on your iron), and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions until golden brown and crisp.
Repeat with the remaining batter, keeping cooked waffles warm in a 200°F (93°C) oven if needed.
To prepare the whipped cream, add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to a chilled mixing bowl.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the mixture on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
To serve, stack waffles on plates, top with sliced strawberries, and add a generous dollop of whipped cream on top. Optionally, drizzle with maple syrup or dust with powdered sugar.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
