Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings
- 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
Instructions
- Preheat Waffle Maker: Begin by preheating your waffle maker so it’s hot and ready when the batter is prepared. This ensures the waffles cook evenly and develop a crispy exterior.
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir to evenly distribute all dry components.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the waffles light and fluffy.
- Cook Waffles: Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle maker and cook according to your appliance’s instructions, typically until the waffles are golden brown and crisp on the edges.
- Add Berries and Serve: Once cooked, remove the waffles and immediately top them generously with the mixed berries. Serve warm to enjoy the perfect balance of crispy waffle and fresh fruit.
Notes
- For extra crispy waffles, avoid lifting the waffle maker lid prematurely during cooking.
- Use fresh or frozen berries; if using frozen, thaw and drain them to avoid soggy waffles.
- Customize the recipe by adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients for a warm spice flavor.
- Serve with maple syrup or whipped cream for an indulgent holiday breakfast.
- Leftover waffles can be frozen and reheated in a toaster for convenience.
