Ingredients

Scale

Classic Waffle Batter

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Red Velvet Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Classic Waffle Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined. In another bowl, beat the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract together. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep waffles light and fluffy.
  2. Prepare the Red Velvet Batter: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, and red food coloring until fully blended. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, again avoiding overmixing.
  3. Preheat the Waffle Iron: Follow your waffle iron manufacturer’s instructions to preheat. Ensuring the waffle iron is properly heated helps achieve crisp, evenly cooked waffles.
  4. Create the Marbled Effect: Lightly grease the waffle iron with butter or non-stick spray. Spoon a small amount of the classic waffle batter onto the waffle iron, followed by a small amount of the red velvet batter. Use a toothpick or knife to gently swirl the two batters together, creating a beautiful marbled pattern without fully mixing them.
  5. Cook the Waffles: Close the waffle iron and cook according to your appliance’s instructions or until the waffles turn golden brown and are cooked through. This usually takes about 4-6 minutes depending on your waffle iron.
  6. Serve: Remove the waffles carefully and serve warm. Top with your favorite accompaniments such as whipped cream, fresh berries, maple syrup, or even cream cheese frosting for a decadent touch.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain a light and tender waffle texture.
  • Use fresh buttermilk for the best tangy flavor and texture.
  • Adjust the red food coloring amount to achieve your preferred shade of red velvet.
  • If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Waffles are best served immediately but can be kept warm in a low oven for short periods.
  • For crispier waffles, avoid stacking them while warm to prevent steam from making them soggy.
