  • All-purpose Flour – All purpose flour is perfect for this homemade waffle batter. If you have time, give it a light sift to make your waffles extra fluffy.
  • White Granulated Sugar – This adds a hint of sweetness to the batter.
  • Baking Powder – This is essential to make the waffles light and fluffy.
  • Baking Soda – Baking soda acts as a leavening agent in the batter which helps it rise.
  • Kosher Salt – Salt helps activate the baking soda and baking powder.
  • Whole Milk – Whole milk gives the waffles a richness but you can substitute with 2% milk.
  • Melted Unsalted Butter – Feel free to use salted butter if that is what you have on hand.
  • Eggs – Two large eggs are needed for the waffles.
  • Vanilla Extract – This adds just a hint of vanilla flavoring.
  • Fresh Strawberries – Fresh strawberries work best in this. Frozen strawberries tend to discolor the batter.

Best Waffle Makers (contains affiliate links):

Waffle makers come in all shapes and sizes right now. I have this one that makes 4 waffles at a time but my kids prefer a rotating one like this. Mini waffle makers are also fun too and would be great on a brunch buffet! When buying a waffle maker, be sure to look for a nonstick surface and removeable plates for cleaning, if possible.
