# What You'll Need:
→ Waffle Batter
01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 1 tablespoon baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
05 - 2 large eggs
06 - 1 3/4 cups whole milk
07 - 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted, plus extra for greasing

→ Strawberries
09 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
→ To Serve (optional)
10 - Whipped cream or plain yogurt
11 - Maple syrup or honey
12 - Additional sliced strawberries
# How To Make:
01 - Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer's specifications.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly blended.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, whole milk, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fully integrated.
04 - Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined; avoid overmixing to maintain tenderness. Batter may remain slightly lumpy.
05 - Carefully fold the diced strawberries into the batter, distributing them evenly.
06 - Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with melted butter. Spoon an appropriate portion of batter into the center and close the iron. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
07 - Transfer waffles to plates and serve immediately with desired toppings such as whipped cream, sliced strawberries, and maple syrup or honey.
