Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 3/4 cups buttermilk or regular milk
- 2 large eggs, separated
- 1 tsp pure vanilla
- 2 tbsp red vegetable food coloring
Preparation
Step 1
Procedure:
1. In a medium mixing bowl sift together flour, sugar, baking soda, cocoa powder and salt. Whisk thoroughly so they’re all mixed together.
2. In another bowl beat egg yolks slightly. Stir in buttermilk and oil. Stir in red vegetable food color
3. Add egg yolk mixture all at once to the dry mixture and stir thoroughly.
4. In a small bowl beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
5. Gently fold egg whites into flour and egg yolk mixture.
6. Spoon waffle batter into your waffle iron, making sure not to overfill it.
7. Serve with cream cheese frosting
To make cream cheese frosting:
Using an electric mixer, whisk together 3/4 stick softened unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cup confectioner's sugar till sugar smooth. Add in the softened 8 oz package of cream cheese and beat until smooth and creamy.
Notes: The waffles came out tender with a pancake texture in a good way. They didn't have the crunchy exterior and lightness because this uses straight all purpose flour. I think that using regular milk and decreasing it by half a cup will make the waffles airy and lighter. Feel free to add more powdered sugar to the frosting mix for more sweetness.
