Strawberry Waffles

I have made these Strawberry Waffles numerous times over the past year and they are always a hit. Whenever I have leftover strawberries, I puree them in the blender until smooth to add the the batter. If I don’t have enough to make 2 cups, I either halve the recipe or add enough milk to make up the difference.

The original recipe uses red food coloring to create a beautiful red hue to the waffles. I generally avoid artificial colorings, so I omitted it. The strawberry puree created a purplish color to the interior of the waffles.

If you want to serve all the waffles warm at once, place the cooked waffles on a baking sheet in a 200 degree F oven until the remaining batter finishes cooking.

The amount of waffles created depends on the waffle iron used. I got about 6 using this waffle iron: Euro Cuisine WM520 Eco Friendly Heart Shaped Waffle Maker.
