Chocolate Waffles
2/3 C flour
1/3 C corn starch
1/4 C unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 t baking powder
1/2 t baking soda
1/4 t salt
1/8 t cinnamon
6 T granulated sugar
1 C milk
1/3 C vegetable oil
1 egg
1 1/2 t vanilla
Directions: Start by preheating a waffle iron. Combine the dry ingredients (flour, cornstarch, cocoa powder, baking powder and soda, salt, and cinnamon). Use a whisk (or fork) to combine. In a separate bowl whisk together sugar, milk, oil, egg, and vanilla. Whisk for a minute so it gets a little frothy.
Slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry a little at a time, whisking to combine. Just stir until they�re combined and don�t overmix. This is a pretty thin batter, so it won�t look like pancake batter. It�s supposed to be thin. Lightly butter or spray your waffle iron. Place batter in and cook according to your iron.
