For some reason, waffles always remind me of vacation. Maybe it\u2019s because I associate them with hotels where you can make your own waffles for breakfast. So when I make them at home, it always feels like a special occasion.<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n

These waffles would be perfect for a holiday or celebration, or any time you want breakfast to feel a little noteworthy. They are amazing topped with Cream Cheese Drizzle (recipe follows), but I also love them with just a drizzle of maple syrup.<\/p>\n

Ingredients (Serves 6)<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour<\/li>\n
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda<\/li>\n
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder<\/li>\n
  • 1\u20442 teaspoon table salt<\/li>\n
  • 4 tablespoons (1\u20442 stick) unsalted butter, melted<\/li>\n
  • 1\u20444 cup packed brown sugar<\/li>\n
  • 3 large eggs, separated<\/li>\n
  • 2 cups buttermilk<\/li>\n
  • 1 1\u20442 tablespoons natural unsweetened cocoa powder<\/li>\n
  • 1 tablespoon red liquid food coloring<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Method<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Preheat the oven to 200\u00b0<\/strong>\u00a0F and preheat a waffle iron. Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl to combine.<\/li>\n
    2. Combine the melted butter and brown sugar in a separate large bowl. Whisk in the egg\u2028yolks and buttermilk. Mix the cocoa powder and red food coloring in a small bowl to make a smooth paste, then whisk the paste into the butter mixture. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until moistened (the batter should be slightly lumpy).<\/li>\n
    3. Beat the egg whites in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Stir one-quarter of the egg whites into the batter to lighten it. Then fold in the remaining egg whites gently but thoroughly.<\/li>\n
    4. Spray a waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray or brush with melted butter. Cook the waffles according to the manufacturer\u2019s instructions. As they\u2019re done, put them on a baking sheet and slide them into the oven to keep them warm while you cook the remaining waffles.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
