Ingredients
Scale
Classic Waffle Batter:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Red Velvet Batter:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring
Instructions
- Prepare the Classic Waffle Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, taking care not to overmix to maintain waffle lightness.
- Prepare the Red Velvet Batter: In another mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, and red food coloring. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined without overmixing.
- Preheat the Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure it reaches the optimal cooking temperature for crispy and fluffy waffles.
- Create the Marbled Effect: Lightly grease the waffle iron to prevent sticking. Pour a small amount of classic waffle batter onto the center of the iron, followed by a small amount of red velvet batter. Using a toothpick or knife, gently swirl the two batters together to create an attractive marbled pattern.
- Cook the Waffles: Close the waffle iron and cook the waffles according to the manufacturer’s recommended time until they turn golden brown and are cooked through, typically about 4-6 minutes.
- Serve: Carefully remove the waffles and serve warm. Top with your favorite accompaniments such as whipped cream, fresh berries, or maple syrup for an indulgent breakfast treat.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to ensure waffles stay light and fluffy.
- If a waffle iron is not available, a stovetop waffle maker or oven waffle pan can be used as an alternative.
- Adjust the amount of red food coloring based on the desired intensity of the red velvet color.
- Use fresh buttermilk for best flavor and texture.
- Waffles are best enjoyed immediately but can be kept warm in a low oven (200°F) for up to 30 minutes.
