Method

Waffle Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

  4. 4

    Preheat Waffle Iron

    Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

  5. 5

    Cook Waffles

    Once the iron is hot, pour the batter into the center and close the lid. Cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions, typically for 5-7 minutes, until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Keep Waffles Warm

    Transfer cooked waffles to a wire rack or warm oven while you finish cooking the rest.

Strawberry Topping Preparation

  1. 7

    Prepare Strawberries

    Wash and slice the fresh strawberries. Place them in a bowl.

  2. 8

    Add Sugar and Lemon Juice

    Sprinkle sugar and drizzle lemon juice over the strawberries. Toss gently to combine and let sit for 10-15 minutes to macerate.

Optional Sides Preparation

  1. 9

    Prepare Home Fries

    Dice potatoes and fry in a skillet with oil on medium heat until crispy and cooked through, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 10

    Prepare Grits

    Cook grits according to package instructions, typically bringing water or milk to a boil, then adding grits and simmering until thickened.

  3. 11

    Prepare Toast

    Toast the slices of bread until golden brown in a toaster or on a skillet.

  4. 12

    Bake Biscuits

    If using pre-made biscuits, bake them according to package instructions. If making from scratch, follow a biscuit recipe for best results.
