DEATH BY CHOCOLATE WAFFLES

I make this in my Belgian waffle maker a lot!

DEATH BY CHOCOLATE WAFFLES

1 1/3 C. flour
1/3 C. whole wheat flour
1/4 C. unsweetened cocoa
1 T. baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 C. (1 stick) butter
3 oz. semisweet chocolate
2 T. granulated sugar
2 1/4 C. whole milk
2 eggs, beaten until frothy
Preheat waffle iron. In a large bowl, sift together flour, whole wheat flour, cocoa, baking powder and cinnamon. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over very low heat, melt butter, chocolate and sugar. Whisk to smooth, remove from heat, then whisk in milk and eggs. Make a well in dry ingredients, pour in chocolate mixture and blend just until everything is combined. Let batter stand for several minutes. Pour about 1/2 to 3/4 cup batter into very hot waffle iron and bake until waffles are golden and crisp. Serve hot. Makes 4 waffles.
