Ingredients
  

Waffle Batter
  • 2 large eggs provides richness and helps bind the ingredients for a fluffy texture.
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour the base that creates the waffle's structure; can substitute with whole wheat flour for added fiber.
  • 1.75 cups milk adds moisture; try almond milk for a dairy-free version!
  • 0.5 cups vegetable oil keeps the waffles moist and adds a light crispiness.
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar enhances sweetness, balancing the flavors perfectly.
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder this leavening agent creates that delightful fluffiness in each waffle.
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt enhances all the flavors, making the sweet notes pop.
Optional Toppings
  • Butter a classic choice for richness that melts into the warm waffles.
  • Maple syrup drizzled on top, this adds a sweet, syrupy layer that complements the strawberries.
  • Fresh fruit strawberries are a favorite, but feel free to mix in blueberries or bananas for variety.
  • Whipped cream adds a luxurious touch that makes every bite feel like a special treat!

Equipment

  • waffle iron

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat the waffle iron to your desired setting. Preheating is essential; a properly heated iron ensures a crispy exterior and soft, airy interior for your Classic Waffles with Strawberries.
  2. Beat the eggs in a large bowl using a hand mixer until fluffy. Mix in the remaining ingredients—flour, milk, oil, sugar, baking powder, and salt—just until everything is smooth, avoiding overmixing to keep the waffles airy!
  3. Pour a scant 2/3 cup of batter onto the center of the hot waffle iron. Close the lid and allow it to cook.
  4. Bake for about 5 minutes, checking when the steaming has ceased. This is a good indicator that your waffle is ready. Carefully remove the waffle using a fork or silicone tongs.
  5. Repeat steps 3-4 with the remaining batter, allowing the iron to reheat briefly if needed for each new waffle.
  6. Serve the waffles warm, topped with butter, maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or your favorite toppings. Get creative with the presentation!

Notes

For perfectly crispy Classic Waffles with Strawberries, always preheat your waffle iron to the appropriate setting before pouring in the batter. To achieve a light and fluffy texture, beat the eggs until they are very fluffy and mix the batter just until combined, avoiding overmixing. If you find your waffles sticking, try lightly greasing the iron with cooking spray or melted butter before each batch. Keep an eye on the cooking time; most waffle irons signal when they're done, but checking for a cessation of steam is a reliable indicator, usually around 5 minutes.
