Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup sour cream
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp red food coloring
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Sweeteners and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
Instructions
- Whisk eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and sour cream in a large mixing bowl until smooth and fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to eliminate any potential lumps.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently to create a uniform batter without overmixing.
- Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, white vinegar, and cream of tartar, mixing until the sugars dissolve completely.
- Pour red food coloring into the batter, stirring until the mixture achieves a consistent vibrant red hue.
- Preheat the waffle iron to medium-high heat (around 375°F) and lightly grease the cooking surfaces with non-stick spray.
- For marbled effect, alternate pouring white and red batter sections into the waffle iron, using a skewer or fork to create swirling patterns.
- Cook each waffle for 3-4 minutes or until edges are crisp and golden brown, with a slightly soft center.
- Remove carefully from the waffle iron and let rest on a wire rack for 1-2 minutes to maintain crispness.
- Serve warm with cream cheese frosting, whipped cream, or maple syrup as desired.
Notes
- Achieve a silky-smooth batter by whisking wet ingredients thoroughly and sifting dry ingredients to prevent lumps.
- Avoid overmixing the batter, which can lead to tough, dense waffles with a less tender texture.
- Create picture-perfect marbling by using a skewer or toothpick to gently swirl white and red batters without fully blending them.
- Adapt the recipe for dietary needs by substituting gluten-free flour, using dairy-free alternatives, or replacing eggs with flax eggs for a more inclusive breakfast treat.
