Waffles for Dessert
by Ann Castle
Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (6 oz.) chocolate chips
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter or margarine
1 1/2 cups milk
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Toppings: whipped cream, chocolate shavings, sifted powdered sugar, fresh fruit, ice cream
Directions:
Mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in large bowl.
Microwave chocolate chips and butter in medium, uncovered, microwave-safe bowl on high power for 1 minute; stir. The chocolate chips may retain some of their original shape. If necessary, microwave at additional 10 - 15-second intervals, stirring just until melted. Cool to room temperature. Stir in milk, eggs and vanilla extract. Add chocolate mixture to flour mixture; stir (batter will be thick).
Pour into Belgian waffle maker according to manufacturer's directions. Serve warm with your choice of toppings.
Waffles can also be cooked in standard waffle maker (makes about 20 standard-size waffle squares).
