Chocolate Chip Belgian Waffles Recipes

CHOCOLATE CHIP WAFFLES

Steps:

• Heat a waffle iron according to your manufacturer's instructions. Be sure to grease it well; again - according to the instructions.
• Mix the dry ingredients together with a whisk, stirring in the chocolate chips last.
• Add in the milk, then the slightly cooled melted butter.
• Add the eggs and stir, just enough to combine - there might be a few lumps in the batter; you just don't want any dry patches or big lumps.
• Pour the amount of batter specified for your waffle iron onto the preheated waffle iron and cook according to your instructions or until the steaming stops.
• For softer waffles, cook less time, for crispy waffles, cook longer.
• In general, if the steaming has dramatically slowed down and you can easily open the waffle iron to remove the waffle without it sticking, it is most likely done.
• Serve as is or with butter or powdered sugar or syrup - whatever you prefer.

CHOCOLATE CHIP WAFFLE RECIPE

Steps:

• Add the butter and milk to a small bowl or measuring cup, and heat in the microwave for one minute and thirty seconds, or until the butter is melted.
• Whisk in the vanilla and set aside. In a large bowl, beat the eggs until fluffy. Add the milk mixture and stir to combine.
• Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar, and mix until just combined (small lumps are ok). Let sit five minutes.
• While the batter is resting, preheat your waffle iron. Stir in the chocolate chips, then pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron, and cook according to your waffle maker's directions. (For my belgian waffle maker, 1 cup of batter cooked for 4 minutes was perfect.)

CHOCOLATE CHIP WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
• Separate the 2 eggs and put all the whites in a large bowl.
• In a large liquid measuring cup or medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks, milk, vanilla, and 1/4 cup melted butter. Whisk the milk mixture into the flour mixture until a batter is formed. Take care not to over mix the batter.
• Whip the egg whites with a hand-held electric mixer or whisk, until they just begin to hold a loose peak. Scatter the sugar over the whites and continue beating until they hold a soft peak. Fold a third of the egg whites into the batter to lighten the base, then fold in the remaining whites. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
• Brush the inside surface of the iron with butter. Pour in enough batter to barely fill each hole of the waffle iron; the amount will vary depending upon the size of the iron. (Take into consideration that the batter will spread once the lid is closed.) Close and cook until crisp and the waffle iron stops steaming, about 5 minutes. Serve as the waffles come off the iron or transfer to a rack set on a pan in preheated 200 degree F oven to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• (If the waffle iron is well seasoned or nonstick it is not necessary to brush the inner surface each time before cooking the waffles.)
• Serve the waffles with syrup, jam, fresh fruit, or yogurt. Or turn into a dessert with a scoop of ice cream.
