Waffle Skewers with Fresh Fruit
The idea of waffle skewers appeals to those who love creative and fun presentation. It's not just a unique way to serve classic waffles, but also practical: small portions, easy to eat, and a fun solution for kids. The colors and flavors of the fresh fruit perfectly harmonize with the buttery sweetness of the waffles. As you alternately thread the crispy waffle pieces onto the wooden skewer with strawberries, bananas, and grapes, a colorful, flavorful treat is created, which is best enjoyed fresh, but also excellent as a chilled summer snack or appetizer. Tip: always remove all leaves and stems from the fruit to make it pleasant to bite and aesthetically clean. Use ripe but not overripe fruit - so they don't soak the waffle and are easy to pierce.

Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and a pinch of salt. This will be the dry base for your waffle batter – whisk thoroughly to avoid any lumps.
2
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth, then pour into the dry ingredients.
3
Mix the batter until it is smooth and lump-free, then let it rest for 10 minutes. This will help the waffles cook more evenly and be softer.
4
Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with butter. Pour in a portion of the batter and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool slightly, then cut into smaller, bite-sized pieces.
5
Wash the fruit. Remove the stems from the strawberries and halve or quarter them. Peel and slice the banana. Wash and pick the grapes from the stems. Make sure no leaves or stems remain.
6
Thread the waffle pieces and fruit onto the wooden skewers, alternating between them. Serve immediately while fresh, or store in the refrigerator for a few hours to enjoy cold. A great idea for entertaining or a snack!
