Prepare the strawberries
In a bowl, mix sliced strawberries with 2 tbsp sugar. Let them sit for at least 15 minutes to macerate and release their juices.
Make the waffles
Preheat your waffle iron.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla.
Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir just until combined (don’t overmix).
Cook the batter in your waffle iron until golden brown and crispy.
Assemble the shortcake waffles
Place a waffle on a plate.
Top with a generous spoonful of macerated strawberries.
Add a big dollop of whipped cream.
Repeat layers if you want it stacked shortcake-style.
Finish with a sprinkle of powdered sugar and a mint sprig if desired.
✨ Tip:
Want a fun twist? Add a bit of crushed graham cracker or vanilla wafer crumble between layers for texture.
