You can’t get a much more Belgian treat than this. Belgium is well known for its chocolate and its yummy waffles. Combine the 2 and please the crowd.

When I first got the waffle maker for my birthday, I got so excited. I went to school and told all my friends. They all wanted to try them so my dad showed me this recipe amd I found it so easy to make and my friends found them delicious. I think the first time I had waffles was at a friends house, we had them for desert with ice-cream and syrup.

Who connected us?!  Our youngest son regulary has some friends over to stay the night and he wants to serve them a special brekky. So for his birthday he asked for a waffle maker, and he has been practising his waffle making skills ever since.

Preparing the chocolate waffle mixture:

• In a mixing bowl, mix the softened butter, caster sugar and eggs.
• In another bowl, sieve together the flour and cocoa powder.
• Gradually add the egg mixture to the bowl with the dry ingredients while whisking vigoriously until a smooth batter. Don’t add all the wet ingredients at once, to prevent getting a lumpy batter.
• Cover and leave to stand for 10 minutes.
• Preheat the waffle maker
• Add a large spoon full of batter to the waffle maker and bake in about 5 minutes according the the instructions of your waffle maker.
