Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cup flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 3 Tbsp sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 ½ cups whole milk
- ½ cup canola oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 oz cream cheese NOT softened
- 1 cup chopped strawberries
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla.
- Cut the cream cheese into slices and then cut each slice into little cubes of cream cheese. Keep them all separated on a plate. Set aside.
- Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Let the batter rest for 2 minutes and then fold in the strawberries. Do not over beat.
- Pour the batter into a preheated waffle iron. The amount of batter will depend on the size of your waffle iron. I used my regular Belgian waffle iron. Then drop a few cubes of the cream cheese into each waffle. I put about 5-6 per waffle. Bake until lightly browned.
- Serve with strawberry sauce and sweetened whipped cream. I was able to get 16 waffles from this recipe in my waffle iron.
