# How To Make It:
01 - Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly blended.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is fully incorporated.
04 - Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or whisk just until the batter comes together. Avoid overmixing; a few small lumps are acceptable.
05 - Carefully fold the diced strawberries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
06 - Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with a small amount of melted butter.
07 - Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the hot waffle iron, following the manufacturer's portion guidelines. Cook each batch for 3 to 5 minutes, or until waffles are golden and crisp.

# Expert Tips:
01 -
- No one expects the burst of fruit inside, and it makes every waffle feel like a treat just for you.
- They&apost just good in theory—these waffles actually come out light and fluffy every time, making even rushed mornings feel special.
02 -
- Once I overmixed the batter and ended up with chewy waffles—just blend until combined, lumps and all.
- Letting the batter rest for a few minutes makes the texture magically fluffier, so have a sip of coffee and wait.
03 -
- A pinch of salt on top right before serving wakes up all those flavors even more.
- If you like extra golden, let the batter sit a little longer and really preheat the iron for that deeper crunch.
