Belgian · Dessert · 30 min total

Light and fluffy Belgian waffles topped with fresh strawberries and homemade whipped cream make a perfect breakfast or dessert.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 3/4 cups milk
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced

Instructions

1. Preheat your Belgian waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. In another bowl, beat eggs, then add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract; mix well.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; batter may be slightly lumpy.
5. Pour about 1/2 cup of batter onto the hot waffle iron and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 3-5 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
6. While waffles cook, make whipped cream: In a chilled bowl, beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
7. Serve waffles topped with sliced strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream.

Tips

• For extra crisp waffles, keep them warm on a wire rack in a 200°F oven while cooking the rest.
• If strawberries are not sweet enough, toss them with a teaspoon of sugar before serving.
