Red Velvet Waffles are perfect to fix at the beginning of your day for either school or work. It is prepared with a lovely cream cheese drizzle and they are soo good, think of red velvet cupcakes but in a pancake form. They are incredibly easy to prepare with just a few ingredients starting with all-purpose baking flour, cocoa, salt, sugar buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla essence.
We will start with the actual batter which is super easy by mixing together the dry ingredients. You can double the recipe depending on your family size or visitors so that they can be enough for them. Tak buttermilk which is really nice and thick, eggs, butter and a splash of vanilla, mix them before mixing with the dry ingredients.
Mix the dry and wet ingredients until they are well combined then we start adding fresh food color. A few lumps will be formed in the process but you should know that a few lumps in a pancake batter are not a bad thing. You can add the red velvet food coloring but if you don’t like them you can skip that and they will still be amazing.
After leaving the batter to settle, set the waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions then pour enough batter in it and close.
