Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 4 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1.5 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large Eggs
- 2.25 cups Milk
- 0.75 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Lorann Red Velvet Bakery Emulsion or red food coloring
Instructions
- Preheat the Waffle Maker: Begin by preheating your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for crispy waffles.
- Whisk the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, granulated sugar, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Whisk these ingredients together until well blended and uniform.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly, then add the milk, vegetable oil, and Lorann Red Velvet Bakery Emulsion or red food coloring. Mix until all wet ingredients are well combined with an even red color.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or spoon just until combined, avoiding overmixing to keep the batter light and airy.
- Cook the Waffles: Pour the appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle maker. Close the lid and cook according to your waffle maker’s instructions, usually about 4-6 minutes, until the waffles are crispy and golden brown. Remove carefully to avoid breaking.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve your red velvet waffles warm, topped with cream cheese frosting, syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream for an indulgent breakfast or brunch treat.
Notes
- If you do not have Lorann Red Velvet Bakery Emulsion, substitute with 1 to 2 teaspoons of red food coloring.
- Using buttermilk instead of regular milk can add extra tang and tenderness to the waffles.
- For a richer flavor, consider topping with cream cheese glaze instead of syrup.
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough waffles; small lumps are okay.
- Waffles are best served immediately but can be kept warm in a low oven until ready to serve.
- Vegetable oil can be replaced with melted butter for a different flavor profile.
