Money Saving Tips: Skip going out for breakfast and save money by making this inexpensive breakfast at home. Waffles are made from inexpensive basics, like flour, eggs, and of course some butter for nice crispy edges. If you're short on time, you could always whip up a waffle mix and I'm sure no one will complain. Shop around for strawberries on sale. I paid 1.99 and it was worth every penny.
Strawberry Belgian Waffles
Estimated Cost: $6.00 for about 6 waffles and strawberries
Notes: It isn't absolutely necessary to separate the eggs and beat the whites, but the waffles will be extra light and crispy if you do.
1 and 3/4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon soda
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
1/2 cup melted butter
1 and 1/2 cups buttermilk or milk
strawberries, maple or pancake syrup, whipped cream for serving
In a medium bowl. combine flour, powder, soda, sugar and salt. In a separage bowl, combine egg yolks, butter, and milk. Beat egg whites until stiff. Add butter mixture very gently to flour mixture, stirring just until combined. Add egg whites and very very very gently stir into mixture. (It's Ok to have a few white streaks in the batter.) Cook according to the directions on your waffle maker. Serve with strawberries, syrup and whipped cream.

Sunshine, strawberries and Spring! Can't think of a better combination!
Happy Spring, Prudy dear :)
What a perfect springtime breakfast!
The waffles look SO inviting! It will be another month before we see any signs of spring here. We will have FEET of snow and near single digit temperatures at night. But I can "pretend" can't I?
Boy, I don't think Spring will EVER be here. 80 degrees? I want to be where you are!
The waffles look too good! Yum!!
P.S. Don't forget to enter my giveaway!!
We were in the upper 80's last week and now back in the 60's I was excited it was starting to warm up, but guess it realized it was too early!
I will eat this breakfast anytime of year. What a treat!
I think I just figured out what I'm going to make for breakfast tomorrow morning. I'm taking a vacation day. It's just too pretty to be couped up in an office.

Here's to the best breakfast ever! This was my study/comfort food in college, topped with cinnamon and sugar and served with fresh strawberries :).
YUM!
I just barely dug out my belgian waffle iron that I got as a wedding gift (I won't say how many years ago. =) ) and I've been waiting for the perfect waffle recipe for it's maiden voyage, so thankyou Prudy, we'll be eating these delicious waffles for breakfast tommorow morning!
Yum! I might just add some bacon and call this dinner. My picky brood will devour these waffles!
Can't go wrong with waffles and strawberries!
I just had waffles for dinner last night! Yum!
Oh yes, Spring sprung and it's now time for strawberry waffles!
I go through a batch of waffle batter twice that size every day when the hungry horde is home. I don't separate eggs, either, because it's so much work for so little reward, relatively speaking, so I'm testifying to the goodness of your recipe for all of your fans (since mine is very similar)! Lucky you with 80 degree weather. At least I don't have FEET of snow like poor Coleen! Praise the 36 degree days, and waiting for spring here!
we had strawberry belgian waffles for breakfast this morning (kimball's birthday). they were scrumptious and i'm tempted to have them again for dinner!:)
These waffles look so delightful Prudy.
