A quick and easy waffle recipe using pantry staples, topped with a luscious jam cream for an elegant brunch without the fuss.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups (300 ml) whole milk (or almond/oat milk for dairy-free)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons (57 g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup jam of your choice (strawberry, raspberry, apricot recommended)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream, softened to room temperature (or coconut cream for dairy-free)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron until hot, about 5 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat eggs lightly. Add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract; mix gently.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir just until combined; lumps are okay.
  5. In a medium bowl, whip heavy cream to soft peaks. Fold in jam until swirled and incorporated.
  6. Lightly grease waffle iron if needed. Pour 1/3 to 1/2 cup batter onto center of iron.
  7. Close lid and cook 3–5 minutes until waffles are golden brown and crisp.
  8. Serve immediately with a generous dollop of jam cream on top.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs and milk for lighter waffles. Do not overmix batter to avoid toughness. Preheat waffle iron thoroughly for crisp edges. Whip cream to soft peaks before folding in jam. Keep cooked waffles warm in a low oven if making multiple batches. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free baking blend. For dairy-free, use almond/oat milk and coconut cream.
