Instructions

Preheat the waffle maker: Turn on your waffle maker and allow it to preheat fully while you prepare the batter to ensure even cooking and crispy waffles.
Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these ingredients together to distribute the leavening agents evenly.
Whisk wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry mixture. Stir gently using a spatula or spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the waffles dense.
Cook the waffles: Lightly grease the waffle maker if needed. Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, spreading it evenly. Cook the waffles until golden brown and crisp, typically 4-6 minutes depending on your waffle maker’s settings.
Serve topped with berries: Remove the waffles carefully and top them immediately with the mixed berries for freshness and a burst of flavor. Serve warm and enjoy your festive breakfast!

Notes

Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep waffles light and fluffy.
You can substitute melted butter with vegetable oil for a slightly different texture.
Fresh or frozen berries can be used; if using frozen, thaw and drain excess moisture before topping.
If you like, add a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of maple syrup for extra sweetness.
Waffles can be kept warm in a low oven (about 200°F) while you finish the batch.
