Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour – 1 ½ cups (180g)
  • Baking powder – 1 tablespoon
  • Granulated sugar – 2 tablespoons
  • Salt – ¼ teaspoon
  • Milk – 1 ¼ cups (300ml), whole or 2%
  • Large eggs – 2, room temperature
  • Unsalted butter – 4 tablespoons (60g), melted and cooled
  • Pure vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon
  • Fresh strawberries, sliced
  • Blueberries
  • Bananas, sliced
  • Maple syrup or honey
  • Whipped cream or Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
  • Chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts (optional)
  • Chilled sparkling wine or champagne – 1 bottle (or sparkling water for mocktail)
  • Fresh orange juice – 2 cups (480ml)
  • Fresh grapefruit juice – 1 cup (240ml)
  • Peach nectar or puree – 1 cup (240ml)
  • Fresh fruit slices for garnish: orange wheels, raspberries, mint sprigs
  • Optional liqueurs: Grand Marnier or Cointreau

Instructions

  1. Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 2 tablespoons sugar, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  2. Combine the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat 2 large eggs until light and frothy. Add 1 ¼ cups milk, 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Make the batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix. Gently fold together using a spatula until just combined. Let the batter rest while you preheat the waffle maker.
  4. Preheat and grease the mini waffle maker with non-stick spray or melted butter.
  5. Cook the waffles: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of batter onto each waffle cavity. Close the lid and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
  6. Keep waffles warm on a wire rack or in a warm oven at 200°F (90°C) to maintain crispness.
  7. Prepare the mimosa bar: Arrange chilled sparkling wine, fresh juices, and garnishes on the table with glasses and optional liqueurs for guests to customize their drinks.
  8. Assemble the brunch board: Arrange mini waffles, fresh sliced fruits, whipped cream or Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and chopped nuts in small bowls on a large serving board.
  9. Serve and enjoy: Invite guests to mix their mimosas and create waffle stacks with their favorite toppings.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep waffles tender. Preheat the waffle maker fully and grease well to prevent sticking. Keep waffles warm on a wire rack to maintain crispness. Resting batter for 5-10 minutes before cooking helps fluffiness. Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm flavor twist. Mimosa bar juices and sparkling wine should be chilled and set up just before serving for best fizz.
