Instructions

  • Heat waffle iron.
  • In a large bowl, sift together flour, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add buttermilk, egg yolks, and melted butter.
  • Mix well.
  • Stir in red food coloring.
  • Beat egg whites to medium peaks.

Notes

  • Be careful not to over-beat the egg whites!
  • Don't skip sifting the dry ingredients.
  • The buttermilk and egg yolks need to be room temperature, otherwise the melted butter will solidify when you stir them into the dry ingredients.
  • We used a gel food coloring. You may need to use more or less. Adjust as necessary.
  • Be careful folding in the egg whites. You don't want to deflate them!
  • Remember to grease your waffle iron.
  • Don't overfill the waffle iron!
  • Cook times vary on your waffle iron. Always follow the cooking directions that came with your waffle iron!
