🛒 Ingredients

🧈 For the Waffles

  • 🧈 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 🌻 3 tablespoons vegetable shortening
  • 🌾 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 🥄 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 🧂 ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 🍬 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 🥚 3 large eggs
  • 🥛 1 cup milk
  • 🍫 ½ cup chocolate syrup (plus extra for serving)
  • 🌼 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 🧴 Cooking spray

🍓 Optional Toppings

  • ❄️ Confectioners' (powdered) sugar
  • 🍓 Fresh strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries
  • 🍫 Extra chocolate syrup
  • 🍦 Vanilla ice cream
  • ☁️ Whipped cream

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Butter Mixture

In a small saucepan, gently melt the butter and vegetable shortening together.

Stir until smooth, then remove from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.

2️⃣ Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together:

  • Flour
  • Baking powder
  • Salt
  • Sugar

Mix until evenly combined.

3️⃣ Prepare the Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together:

🥚 Eggs

🥛 Milk

🍫 Chocolate syrup

🌼 Vanilla extract

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until combined.

Don't worry if the batter has a few small lumps—this helps keep the waffles light and fluffy.

Finally, whisk in the melted butter mixture until smooth.

4️⃣ Cook the Waffles

🔥 Preheat your waffle iron and lightly coat it with cooking spray.

Spoon about ⅓ to ½ cup of batter into the center of the waffle iron, leaving about 1 inch (2.5 cm) around the edges to allow the batter to spread.

Cook according to your waffle maker's instructions until the waffles are crisp on the outside and cooked through.

If making several waffles, keep them warm in a 120°C (250°F) oven while you cook the remaining batter.

🍫 Serve & Enjoy

Place the warm waffles on serving plates and finish with your favorite toppings:

✨ Dust with powdered sugar

🍓 Add fresh berries

🍫 Drizzle generously with warm chocolate syrup

🍦 Top with vanilla ice cream

☁️ Finish with whipped cream

For an extra touch of indulgence, sprinkle over chocolate shavings or toasted hazelnuts.

💡 Chef's Tips

✅ Don't overmix the batter—gentle mixing creates lighter waffles.

✅ Warm the chocolate syrup before serving for a beautiful, glossy drizzle.

✅ Add a handful of chocolate chips to the batter for an extra chocolate surprise.

✅ Serve immediately for the crispiest texture.
