Waffles with Strawberries and Cream

This waffle recipe uses simple ingredients, is quite easy to make and a great breakfast treat especially when served with fresh berries and whipped cream.

Since there isn’t any sugar in the batter, indulging in sweet toppings is permitted.

Fresh blueberries, raspberries, peaches or mangoes also bring wonderful colour and delicious taste to this light and crisp waffle, not to mention creamy butter and a generous drizzle of maple syrup.

This is certainly not every day fare but a welcomed sight for a late morning, weekend breakfast.
