Chocolate Waffles With Slow Cooker Boozy Berries Food

CHOCOLATE WAFFLES

Steps:

• Melt the butter and shortening in a small saucepan, stirring to combine; remove from the heat and set aside. Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a large bowl.
• Whisk the eggs, milk, chocolate syrup and vanilla in a large liquid measuring cup or a separate bowl. Whisk the egg mixture into the flour mixture until combined. (The batter will be slightly lumpy.) Whisk in the butter mixture until combined.
• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Preheat a waffle iron and spray with cooking spray. Ladle some of the batter into the waffle iron to within an inch of the edge (1/3 to 1/2 cup batter, depending on your waffle iron); cook until crisp. Transfer the waffle to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• Divide the waffles among plates. Dust with confectioners'sugar and top with berries and/or chocolate syrup.

CHOCOLATE WAFFLES

Steps:

• Heat waffle iron. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Place chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water. Stir until melted; combine well. Remove from heat; whisk in the egg yolks, cream, and vanilla. Pour over the dry ingredients; stir briefly until just combined.
• In a medium bowl, beat egg whites until stiff but not dry. Fold into the batter.
• Ladle about 1/3 cup batter onto each section of the waffle grid; spread batter almost to the edges. Close lid; bake 3 1/2 to 4 minutes at the waffle iron's lowest setting, until no steam emerges from the iron.
• Transfer the cooked waffles to a baking sheet; place in an oven set to low heat, about 200 degrees, while using the remaining batter. Serve warm.
