Chocolate Waffles
Recipe By : Emeril Lagasse
Serving Size : 4

1 1/2 cups Flour
1/3 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder -- sifted
1/3 cup Sugar
1 tablespoon Baking powder
1/4 teaspoon Salt
2 Egg yolks
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1 3/4 cups Milk
1/2 cup Cooking oil
2 Egg whites
=== GARNISH ===
1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
1 cup Fresh raspberries
Powdered sugar

In a mixing bowl combine flour, cocoa, sugar, baking powder and salt. In another bowl beat the egg yolks and vanilla slightly. Beat in the milk and oil. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture. Stir until combined yet still slightly lumpy.

In a small bowl beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold beaten egg whites into batter, leaving little fluffs of egg white. Be careful not to overmix. Pour some batter onto grids of a preheated, lightly-greased waffle iron. Close lid quickly and do not open during baking. Bake according to manufacturer's directions. When done, use a fork to remove the waffle. Top with butter, berries and powdered sugar.

This recipe yields 4 waffles.
