Waffle Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, red food coloring, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
