Children will love these for breakfast. They are good with fresh fruit and even some maple syrup. Adults will probably enjoy them more for dessert, with a scoop of ice cream and some hot fudge sauce.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
- 2 squares (2 ounces) unsweetened chocolate
- 2 cups cake flour or 2 cups minus 2 tablespoons white flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions
Melt the butter and chocolate together over low heat, stirring frequently, or melt in a small bowl in a microwave oven. (When I use a microwave oven to melt, I do the chocolate alone, on about 75 percent power for about 1 minute. Then I drop in the butter and microwave about 30 seconds more.) Set aside a moment while you continue.
Combine the cake flour, sugar, baking soda, and baking powder and sift together into a large bowl. Beat the milk, egg, and vanilla together in a small cup and pour into the dry ingredients along with the chocolate mixture. Beat until blended, but don't worry if the batter isn't perfectly smooth - it will be fine when baked.
Scoop the batter into the hot waffle iron - each 4-inch waffle takes about 1/4 cup of batter-and bake for about 2 minutes, or until the steaming stops and the waffle is cooked through. (Tear open the first one to be certain.) Serve hot. Leftovers can be wrapped airtight and reheated in the toaster.
