Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups Buttermilk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Distilled white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened red food coloring
- as needed Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder. Add the granulated sugar and whisk until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted unsalted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and distilled white vinegar until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir just until combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Add the unsweetened red food coloring to the batter and gently fold it in until the color is evenly distributed throughout.
Lightly coat the preheated waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray.
Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the waffle iron (refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for the best results) and close the lid.
Cook the waffles until they are crisp and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes, or until your waffle iron's indicator shows they are done.
Carefully remove the waffles and repeat the process with the remaining batter, applying nonstick spray as needed.
Serve the waffles warm with your choice of toppings, such as fresh berries, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
