Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon sugar
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat eggs and milk together until smooth. Gradually pour in melted butter and mix thoroughly.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients, stirring gently until just mixed. Be careful not to overmix; some small lumps are okay.
- Preheat waffle iron and lightly grease with non-stick cooking spray or butter.
- Pour batter into preheated waffle iron, filling about 2/3 of the surface to allow room for expansion.
- Cook waffles until golden brown and crispy, approximately 3-4 minutes or according to your waffle iron's instructions.
- Once cooked, immediately sprinkle warm waffles with cinnamon sugar mixture, coating evenly.
- For the dipping sauce, melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
- Fold sliced strawberries into melted chocolate, creating a fruity chocolate mixture.
- Drizzle caramel sauce over the chocolate strawberry mixture and gently swirl to create a marbled effect.
- Serve waffles warm with the chocolate strawberry caramel dipping sauce on the side.
Tips
- Don't overmix your batter - a few small lumps ensure tender waffles
- Preheat your waffle iron completely to achieve that perfect golden-crispy exterior
- Sprinkle cinnamon sugar immediately after cooking while waffles are still warm
- Use room temperature eggs and milk for smoother batter integration
- For extra richness, substitute half the milk with heavy cream
- If you don't have a waffle iron, this batter works great as pancakes too
- Store leftover waffles in the freezer - they reheat beautifully in a toaster
- For a more intense cinnamon flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon directly to the batter
