INSTRUCTIONS

Waffle Batter

In a large bowl, whisk together all batter ingredients until smooth. If a few small lumps remain, that ok.
Allow the batter to rest for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator, to ensure a tender interior.
Preheat your mini waffle maker. Once heated, lightly oil the plates.
Scoop a large cookie scoop of batter onto the center of the waffle plate and gently close the lid without locking it. This allows the batter to spread evenly without overflowing.
Cook for 5-7 minutes, adjusting the time based on your preference for color and crispiness.
Serve warm with your choice of garnishes.

Macerated Strawberries

In a bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with the powdered sugar. Stir the mixture gently but thoroughly to ensure all strawberry slices are evenly coated with the sugar.
Place the bowl of sugared strawberries in the refrigerator. Let them sit for at least 10 minutes. During this time, the sugar will draw out the juices from the strawberries, creating a delicious, sweet syrup.
Once the syrup has begun to form and the strawberries are nicely macerated, take them out of the refrigerator. They are now ready to be served alongside or on top of your freshly made mini waffles.

NOTES

Resting the Batter: Resting the batter is crucial for the best texture. It allows the flour to hydrate and the gluten to relax, resulting in softer waffles.

Preheating the Waffle Maker: Ensure your waffle maker is fully preheated for the best results. This guarantees a nice, crispy exterior.

Using Oil or Butter: Light olive oil gives a lighter texture, while melted butter adds a rich flavor. Choose based on your preference.

Serving and Storing: Waffles can be made ahead and reheated in a toaster, making them perfect for entertaining or quick breakfasts.

Batter Storage: Unused batter can be refrigerated for up to 3 days, allowing you to enjoy fresh waffles without starting from scratch each time.

Experiment with Garnishes: Don't hesitate to get creative with garnishes. Mix and match your favorites to find the perfect combination for you.
