Equipment
- Waffle Maker
Ingredients
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour (210g)
- ½ cup granulated sugar (100g)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (50g)
- 1¾ cups whole milk (420ml)
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted and cooled slightly (113g)
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Sift in the cocoa powder, then whisk everything together.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and stir until combined. (A few lumps are okay.) Set aside.
- Preheat the waffle iron on High. Once hot, brush the iron with more melted butter or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Add ¼ to 1 cup of batter to each cavity of the hot waffle iron. (The amount will depend on the size and shape of your waffle maker- you may need to adjust the amount. A large round iron will use about 1 cup per waffle. Smaller square waffles will use ¼-⅓ cup per cavity.)
- Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until steaming and darker brown in color. Place on a wire rack until ready to serve. Serve hot with berries, maple syrup, and butter or your favorite toppings.
Notes
- On yield: my iron is round and 7 inches across with four cavities, and it takes a full cup of batter to fill all four, which makes one large round waffle. That gives me five waffles from this batch. Your iron will almost certainly be different, so treat the cup measurement and the waffle count as a rough guide. Test the first waffle and adjust as needed.
- Use room temperature ingredients if possible. If you have time, set the eggs and milk out about 30 minutes to 1 hour before you start on the homemade waffles. They will still be delicious if you don't have the time!
- To keep waffles warm between batches, you can preheat your oven to 200°F and place a wire rack inside. Once a waffle is done, place it on the rack in the warm oven until you are ready to serve.
- For the ultimate chocolaty breakfast, fold ½ cup of mini chocolate chips into the batter.
