Ingredients
Waffles












Berry Sauce






Instructions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk well to ensure ingredients are evenly distributed.
In another bowl, beat the eggs lightly and add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until combined.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just blended. Avoid overmixing to keep the waffles tender.
Step 2
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once heated, lightly grease the waffle plates using a non-stick spray or a little melted butter.
Ladle the prepared batter into the waffle iron, making sure not to overfill. Cook the waffles until golden brown and crisp, typically for 4-5 minutes.
Transfer the cooked waffles to a wire rack to keep them crisp while you make additional waffles with the remaining batter.
Step 3
In a small saucepan, combine the mixed berries with sugar and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes or until the berries have broken down and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before serving. The sauce should be warm but not hot when poured over waffles.
Step 4
Place warm waffles on a serving plate and generously drizzle the berry sauce over the top. You can garnish with extra fresh berries if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy these delightful creamy waffles with family or friends!

Faq
- Why are my waffles sticking to the waffle maker?
This can happen if your waffle maker isn't properly preheated or if the non-stick coating is worn out. Always ensure it's well-oiled before pouring the batter.
- Can I make the batter ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter a few hours ahead and keep it in the fridge. Give it a good stir before using it as it may thicken slightly.
- How can I make my waffles crispier?
For extra crispiness, let the waffles cook a little longer than usual, or place them in an oven at low heat for a few minutes after cooking.
- What berries work best for the sauce?
Mixed berries such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries make a fantastic topping. Use fresh or frozen, but if using frozen, ensure they’re thawed.
- How can I store leftover waffles?
Let them cool completely, then place them in an airtight container or freeze them in a zip-lock bag. Reheat by toasting to retain their texture.
- How do I make sure my waffles are uniformly thick?
Ensure your batter is evenly spread before closing the waffle maker lid. You might need to adjust the quantity of batter based on your specific maker.
