Chocolate Waffles
Chocolate waffles are a delicious twist on the classic waffle, featuring a rich, cocoa-infused batter that creates a sweet, indulgent treat. They are crispy on the outside and soft and chocolaty on the inside, making them a perfect comfort food.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup white sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon butter, softened
- ¾ cup confectioners' sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon milk
- nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- Heat up the waffle iron. This step ensures the iron reaches the ideal temperature for cooking, helping the waffles become crisp and evenly cooked.
- Prepare the waffle batter: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk, eggs, and melted butter, then mix until the batter is smooth and well blended. This ensures a uniform texture for the waffles.
- Prepare the hard sauce: Mix the softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until the sauce reaches a thick, creamy consistency. This will create a rich, stiff sauce that complements the waffles perfectly. Set it aside for later use.
- Lightly coat the preheated waffle iron with nonstick spray. Pour the waffle batter onto the hot iron, spreading it evenly. Cook the waffles until they are golden brown and crispy. Serve immediately, topped with the prepared hard sauce for a rich, indulgent treat.
