Let’s take these brunch meals to the next level. How about some strawberry and cream cheese waffles? Waffles are made from leavened batter and cooked in a waffle iron, two plates that give waffles their characteristic shape and pattern.
Waffles vary in type depending on the recipe and waffle iron. My waffle recipe is made-from-scratch and will be ready in less than 20 minutes. What a fun and sweet brunch treat!
What you will need:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups warm milk
1/3 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the toppings:
1 packet strawberries cooked in 1/2 cup sugar
Cream cheese (triangles)
Whipped cream
What to do:
In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt, baking powder and sugar; set aside.
Preheat waffle iron to desired temperature.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Stir in the milk, butter and vanilla.
Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture; beat until blended.
Grease the waffle iron with butter using a kitchen brush. Ladle the batter into the squares on the waffle iron.
Cook the waffles until golden and crisp.
Serve immediately with some whipped cream, cream cheese and strawberry sauce.
