Waffle batter

1 1/4 cups 00 bread flour

2 tbs granulated sugar

1 1/4 tsp Baking powder

1/2 tsp Celtic sea salt

1 each large egg

1 cups Milk

3 tbs unsalted butter, melted

1 tsp Watkins vanilla extract

Toppings & garnish

1/2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1/2 each ripe banana, sliced

1 tsp powdered sugar

1/2 cups whipped cream

3 tbs maple syrup (or pancake syrup)

For cooking

1 tsp neutral oil or nonstick spray (for waffle iron)

Method

Waffle batter

Preheat and prepare

Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer instructions to medium-high heat. Lightly brush or spray the waffle iron with oil or nonstick spray so the waffle won't stick.

Mix dry ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour (1.25 cups), granulated sugar (2 tbs), baking powder (1.25 tsp), and salt (0.5 tsp) until evenly combined.

Combine wet ingredients

In a separate bowl or large measuring cup, beat the large egg, then whisk in the milk (1 cup), melted unsalted butter (3 tbs), and vanilla extract (1 tsp) until smooth.

Make the batter

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula or whisk until just combined. A few small lumps are fine — do not overmix. The batter should be pourable; if too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk.

Cook waffle

Place an appropriate amount of batter into the preheated waffle iron (amount varies by iron — typically 1/2 to 3/4 cup). Close the lid and cook until the waffle is golden brown and crisp, about 3–5 minutes depending on your iron. Do not open too early. When done, carefully remove the waffle and transfer to a plate. Keep warm in a low oven (about 200°F / 95°C) if making ahead.

Prepare toppings

While the waffle cooks, hull and slice fresh strawberries so you have about 1/2 cup sliced. Peel and slice half a banana into thin rounds (about 1/2 of a medium banana). Measure out powdered sugar (1 tsp), whipped cream (1/2 cup), and syrup (3 tbs) to serve alongside or drizzle.

Assemble and serve

Place the hot waffle on a serving plate. Arrange the sliced strawberries and banana over the top in an even layer.

Dust the fruit and waffle lightly with powdered sugar (use a small sieve or shaker for an even dusting).

Add a generous dollop of whipped cream to one side or on top of the fruit.

Serve immediately with the maple syrup on the side for pouring. If desired, drizzle a tablespoon of syrup over the fruit.
