Chocolate Waffles

Hey there everyone!

This is something I've been wanting to make ever since my first year of college (quite a while ago now!). That spring, my Mom came out to visit me at school and we stayed at a B&B for the weekend- breakfast was chocolate waffles. Ever since then they've lived legendarily in the back of my mind, but with Jordan's help, I finally put it into practice! I looked for recipes all over the place, and they varied wildly, so I decided to take what I had learned from the other recipes and modify the Fannie Farmer Special Waffles recipe that I use most often. Here are the results! Chocolatey and waffley and delicious. Let's get started!

The start of the recipe: milk, eggs, and butter mixture with dry ingredients on top.

Here's the batter mixed up, but without the egg whites.

Mix in a 1/3 of the whites, then fold in the rest.

Your finished batter- isn't it beautiful?

Make in your favorite waffle maker (or the one you have!)- I used my Belgian one.

Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, adding the sugar in at the very end.
