Family Favorite - Chocolate Waffles


Sis-in-law Minna found this recipe and introduced it to us two Christmases ago. I finally got the recipe from her in January and we have been making chocolate waffles on any given morning. The recipe is so that you can mix up the power mix ahead of time and then just add the wet ingredients when ready. So easy!

Happy Valentine's Day.

This recipe has been tested by Country Living

With our easy make-ahead dry-mix recipe, you need only add a few wet ingredients to enjoy fluffy homemade waffles and pancakes any time of the day, any day of the week. Keep it fresh: Label mixes — include recipe and date — and store in a cool, dry place in airtight receptacles; they'll stay fresh for four to six months.

INGREDIENTS




3 1/2 cup(s) flour
1/4 cup(s) sugar
4 teaspoon(s) baking powder
2 teaspoon(s) baking soda
1 teaspoon(s) salt

DIRECTIONS

  1. Place the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl and stir, using a whisk, to thoroughly combine. Transfer to a clean, dry canister fitted with an airtight lid. Store for up to 3 months.
  2. For pancakes: Heat a griddle over high heat. Place 1 cup mix in a medium mixing bowl. Beat 1 egg, 1 tablespoon melted butter, 1/2 cup buttermilk, 1/2 cup milk, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla together and stir into the dry mix until just combined. Let the mixture rest for 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Lightly brush the griddle with canola oil or butter. Pour 1/3 cup batter for each pancake, leaving 2 inches between each one. Cook until bubbles form on the pancake surface and the underside is golden, about 5 minutes. Flip pancakes and cook until golden, about 2 more minutes.

    Makes six 4-inch pancakes.

3 cup(s) flour
3/4 cup(s) cocoa
4 teaspoon(s) baking powder
1 teaspoon(s) baking soda
1 1/2 cup(s) sugar
1 teaspoon(s) salt

DIRECTIONS

  1. Place all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Stir, using a whisk, to thoroughly combine.
