Brunch meal in another level: Strawberry and cream cheese waffles

Olympics
By Chef Ali Mandhry | Jul 15, 2018

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.
