Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Waffle Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients, including flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk the wet ingredients, such as milk, eggs, and melted butter, until smooth. Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
Step 2: Fold in the Stone Fruits
Chop your choice of stone fruits, like peaches or plums, into small pieces. Gently fold these into the waffle batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed without overmixing.
Step 3: Preheat the Waffle Iron
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure it is properly heated for optimal cooking results.
Step 4: Cook the Waffles
Once the waffle iron is ready, lightly grease it with cooking spray or brush it with melted butter. Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the center of the waffle iron, close the lid, and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
Step 5: Serve the Waffles
Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and serve immediately. They can be topped with syrup, whipped cream, or additional fresh stone fruit for extra flavor.
