The deep chocolate aroma fills the kitchen, promising a comforting and indulgent experience for the whole family.Ingredients
Directions
-
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
-
If using sour milk instead of buttermilk, add 1 tablespoon of vinegar to a measuring cup and fill with milk to the 1-cup mark. Let sit for 5 minutes until slightly curdled.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour (implied by "2 cup" placeholder and standard waffle mix ratios), sugar, cocoa powder, and baking soda until well combined and no lumps remain.
-
In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs lightly.
-
Add the buttermilk (or sour milk), vanilla extract, and melted shortening to the beaten eggs. Whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix, as this will make the waffles tough. Small lumps are okay.
-
Lightly grease the waffle iron if it is not non-stick.
-
Pour approximately 1/2 cup of batter onto the center of the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid.
-
Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and crisp. Steam should significantly decrease when they are done.
-
Carefully remove the waffle with a fork or tongs and serve immediately. Repeat with remaining batter.
