Cherry Chocolate Chip Waffles Recipes

CHERRY CHIP WAFFLES WITH CHERRY SYRUP

Steps:

• Preheat waffle maker. In a small saucepan, cook and stir sugar and 1/2 cup water over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Add cherries; cook and stir until cherries are tender, 3-5 minutes. Mix cornstarch and remaining 2 tablespoons water until smooth; stir into pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Remove and keep warm., In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, cinnamon and baking soda. In another bowl, whisk buttermilk, eggs, oil and extract until blended. Add to dry ingredients; stir just until moistened. Stir in cherries and chocolate chips. Bake waffles according to manufacturer's directions until golden brown. Serve with syrup and, if desired, additional chocolate chips., Freeze option: Cool waffles on wire racks. Freeze between layers of waxed paper in an airtight container. Freeze cherry syrup in a freezer container. To use, partially thaw cherry syrup in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally. Reheat waffles in a toaster on medium setting. Or, microwave each waffle on high until heated through, 30-60 seconds.

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.

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.
