Equipment

  • 1 Waffle iron To cook waffles until golden and crispy
  • 2 Mixing bowls One for dry ingredients, one for wet ingredients
  • 1 Wire whisk To combine ingredients without overmixing
  • 1 Rubber spatula To fold strawberries gently into batter
  • 1 Measuring cups and spoons For accurate ingredient measurements

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour sift for extra fluffiness
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder check expiration date for best rise
  • 2 tablespoon granulated sugar adjust sweetness to taste
  • ½ teaspoon salt fine sea salt preferred
  • 2 large eggs room temperature works best
  • 1.75 cups milk whole milk gives richest flavor
  • ¼ cup melted butter cooled slightly before adding
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure vanilla preferred
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries diced (pat dry before chopping)
  • 1 cup extra strawberries for serving,sliced or whole
  • maple syrup for serving,real maple syrup recommended
  • whipped cream for serving,optional but delicious
  • powdered sugar for serving,optional for presentation

Instructions

  • Chop strawberries into small pieces. Heat your waffle iron until it's actually hot. Grease it if needed so stuff doesn't stick. Don't rush this part or you'll regret it.

  • Whisk dry stuff in one bowl. Beat wet stuff in another bowl. Dump wet into dry and stir until it looks like batter. Don't worry about lumps - they're supposed to be there.

  • Toss strawberries into the batter. Fold them in carefully so they don't turn to mush. Some will break apart anyway and that's fine. Batter looks chunky now.

  • Pour batter onto the hot iron. Close it and wait for whatever time your iron says. Don't open it early like I always want to. Done when they're golden and stop steaming.

Notes

The secret to perfect strawberry waffles lies in dicing the berries small and patting them dry first this prevents soggy spots and ensures even distribution throughout the golden batter. Don't peek too early when they're cooking or you'll end up with torn, sticky waffles instead of those beautiful crispy edges that make weekend mornings feel special.
