Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk thoroughly to ensure even distribution of leavening agents and cocoa, resulting in a consistent batter.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended, providing moisture and richness to the waffles.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, gently folding them together until just combined. Avoid overmixing; some small lumps are okay to keep the batter light and prevent tough waffles.
  4. Preheat and Grease Your Waffle Iron: Turn on your waffle iron and lightly grease it with butter or non-stick spray. A hot, well-greased iron ensures crisp edges and prevents sticking.
  5. Cook the Waffles: Spoon an appropriate amount of batter onto the waffle iron and close the lid. Cook until the steam subsides and the waffle is dark brown on both sides, about 4 to 5 minutes depending on your iron.
  6. Serve Immediately or Keep Warm: Remove waffles carefully and serve hot. To keep multiple waffles warm, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Measure ingredients accurately to prevent dry or heavy waffles.
  • Use fresh baking powder and soda for optimal fluffiness.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid chewy texture.
  • Allow the batter to rest 5-10 minutes to hydrate the flour and create tender waffles.
  • Keep the waffle iron hot for perfect browning and crisp edges.
