  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

Classic Waffle Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Red Velvet Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons red food coloring

Cream Cheese Glaze (Optional)

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 12 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Classic Waffle Batter

  1. In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well-blended.
  3. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the waffles dense.

Step 2: Prepare the Red Velvet Waffle Batter

  1. Follow the same steps as the classic batter, but add cocoa powder to the dry ingredients.
  2. In the wet mixture, include the red food coloring for that signature red velvet hue.

Step 3: Preheat and Swirl

  1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  2. Once heated, alternately pour dollops of the classic and red velvet batters into the iron.
  3. Use a skewer or toothpick to gently swirl the batters together, creating a marble effect without fully mixing the colors.

Step 4: Cook to Perfection

  1. Close the waffle iron and cook the waffles for approximately 5 minutes or until they are golden and cooked through.
  2. Carefully remove the waffles and repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 5: Make the Cream Cheese Glaze (Optional)

  1. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Adjust the consistency with milk if needed to create a pourable glaze.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!

Serve the waffles hot, drizzled with cream cheese glaze. Fresh berries, whipped cream, or even chocolate chips make excellent additions.

Notes

  • Color Tips: Use gel food coloring for a vibrant red velvet shade without adding too much liquid to the batter.
  • Swirling Technique: Keep the swirling gentle. Over-mixing will blend the batters too much, losing the marble effect.
  • Serving Suggestions: Powdered sugar, maple syrup, or whipped cream add classic sweetness, while berries bring freshness. A drizzle of chocolate sauce also pairs wonderfully with these waffles.
