Waking up to these crisp yet tender Strawberry Shortcake Buttermilk Waffles with fresh strawberry slices and dollops of maple whipped cream is truly a treat.
For serving: 12-14 sliced strawberries, powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
Preheat waffle maker on medium-high.
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, sugar, and vanilla until well combined. Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and gently stir until combined but do not overmix. Fold in chopped strawberries. Let batter rest 5 minutes.
Pour about ⅓ cup of batter into each section of the waffle maker and close the lid. Cook until golden brown, 5-6 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter. (You can place waffles on a baking sheet and keep warm in a 200°F oven until all are finished.)
While waffles cook, whip cream and maple syrup in a large bowl with a handheld mixer. Mix until soft peaks form.
Serve waffles warm with whipped cream, sliced strawberries, and dust with powdered sugar. Enjoy!
