Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

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

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ¾ cups buttermilk
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar to evenly distribute all dry components for consistent flavor and fluffiness.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs, then whisk in buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to create a rich and tangy batter base.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Some lumps are fine to keep the waffles light; avoid overmixing to prevent toughness.
  4. Heat Your Waffle Iron: Preheat the waffle iron and lightly grease if necessary to prevent sticking, ensuring crisp edges and golden-brown waffles.
  5. Cook the Waffles: Scoop batter onto the heated waffle iron, spreading gently if needed. Cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions, typically 3 to 5 minutes, until crisp outside and tender inside.
  6. Serve Immediately or Keep Warm: Remove waffles carefully and serve hot. For multiple batches, keep waffles warm in a 200°F oven until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Don’t skip the buttermilk: Its acidity activates leavening agents for fluffy waffles and enhances flavor.
  • Properly preheat your waffle maker to avoid sticking and ensure even browning.
  • Use melted butter instead of oil to enrich flavor and improve texture.
  • Lightly fold the batter; overmixing results in tougher waffles.
  • Adjust batter thickness with extra buttermilk if too thick for easy spreading.
