Chocolate Waffles

CHOCOLATE WAFFLES

The BWE as Trey called them.

Best Waffles Ever.

They taste like chocolate cake. I sprinkled them with powdered sugar. My children still wanted

to dip them in maple syrup. Can you believe that? They had quite the rush!!

I had a hard time photographing this. In hindsight, I should have just snapped pictures of the

kiddos while they ate them. I couldn't decide if they looked better with or with out the sugar. I

decided on these 2 pics for y'all. It's a shame, but it was the best I could do. I'm sure y'all love me

anyway. Not for my waffles. Not for my photography skills. Just cause I am so loveable.

First things first. You need one of these to make these waffles. When he's not dragging things out

of the little beverage fridge, you need to hold him on your hip. He is extremely helpful.

Then you need all of these.

And one of these. You can tell that I use mine a lot.





Oh.......and some of this.

Oh........and this too. Can you tell where I shop? Food Lion happens to be the only grocery store

on the island. I can't convey to you how happy I am to have it too. It saves me a trip all the way

OVER THE BRIDGE!!!

Alright, I think I have included photo's of EVERYTHING this time. JOY!

You need 1 1/2 cups of flour dumped into a big bowl. Like this. I used my GIANT plastic

measuring cup. See???

Add the sugar to that. 3 tablespoons.

Cocoa powder. 1/2 cup of it.

I stole Trey's measuring spoon for this one. Isn't it cute?

Throw in 1 teaspoon each of baking powder and salt. I did not feel the need to give y'all 2

pictures as they look exactly the same. Trust me.

When you're done with that go ahead and throw in 1/2 tsp of baking soda.

Grab your whisk and whisk this all together.

It would be so much easier if that toddler on my hip would learn how to take the pictures for me!

Grab your stick of butter and lop off 2 tablespoons of it. Put it in a bowl, and melt it however you

choose. I used the microwave of course.

Crack your 3 eggs into your melted butter.

Whisk it all together.

Add 1 tsp of pure vanilla extract.

Measure out 2 cups of buttermilk and add it to the butter and eggs.

Just like this. "They" say that this should really be room temperature, but what do they know?

Who are they? I used cold buttermilk, and my waffles were just fine.

Whisk that all together.

Throw your wet mix over your dry goods that you mixed up earlier. Give that a really good

whisk to make sure it is all mixed up.

Like this.

Stir in 3/4 cup of chocolate chips. I used mini milk chocolate chips.

Now, just let it chill.

Not literally.

Let it rest in the bowl for about 5 minutes.

Pour onto a hot waffle iron.

Close the waffle iron, and cook the recommended time for your iron.

(I have no photo of this)

(do you really need one anyway?)

Remove your waffles.

This is where I had trouble making these look pretty. Here it is just the same.

I sprinkled some powdered sugar on them.

The kids dipped them in maple syrup.

They tasted like chocolate cake.

Chocolate cake for breakfast.

I was best Mommy in the world.
