# What you'll need:
→ Waffle Batter
01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
05 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
06 - 2 large eggs
07 - 1 3/4 cups whole milk or buttermilk
08 - 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
09 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
→ Toppings
10 - 1 1/2 cups mixed fresh berries
11 - 1 cup heavy whipping cream
12 - 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
13 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
14 - Optional: maple syrup, extra powdered sugar, mint leaves
# Method:
01 - Preheat your heart-shaped waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well blended.
03 - In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until fully incorporated.
04 - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Avoid overmixing; small lumps are acceptable.
05 - Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron. Pour approximately 1/2 cup batter per waffle, adjusting for iron size. Cook until golden and crisp, about 3–5 minutes per batch.
06 - While waffles cook, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
07 - Wash and pat dry the berries. Hull and slice strawberries if using.
08 - Plate warm heart-shaped waffles topped with whipped cream and fresh berries. Drizzle with maple syrup and garnish with mint leaves or powdered sugar dusting if desired.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The whipped cream comes together in under five minutes but makes everything feel special
- These waffles strike that perfect balance between crisp edges and tender, fluffy centers
02 -
- Opening the waffle iron too early is the most common mistake. Wait for the steam to slow down significantly.
- Room temperature ingredients prevent the butter from seizing and create a smoother batter.
03 -
- Separate your eggs and whip the whites before folding them in for extra fluffy waffles
- Let the batter rest for five minutes before cooking. This simple step makes a noticeable difference.
