Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1.25 cups Milk
- 2 units Large eggs
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Water (warm, for thinning the cocoa batter)
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and lightly grease it if needed.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly into two bowls. In one of the bowls, add the cocoa powder and warm water, mixing until fully incorporated. This will create the chocolate batter.
To create the tiger stripes, pour alternating spoonfuls of vanilla batter and chocolate batter onto the center of your waffle iron. Start with one spoonful of vanilla, followed by a smaller spoonful of chocolate directly on top, and repeat. The batters will spread to form a striped pattern.
Close the waffle iron and cook the waffles according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 3-5 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
Carefully remove the waffle and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Serve the Tiger Waffles warm with your choice of toppings such as syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
