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

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
- Prepare the Classic Waffle Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
- Prepare the Red Velvet Batter: In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together 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. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
- Preheat the Waffle Iron: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to preheat your waffle iron adequately for even cooking.
- Create the Marbled Effect: Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron. Pour a small amount of classic waffle batter onto it, followed by a small amount of red velvet batter. Using a toothpick or knife, gently swirl the two batters together to create a beautiful marbled pattern.
- Cook the Waffles: Close the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions until the waffles turn golden brown and are cooked through completely.
- Serve: Remove the waffles carefully and serve warm. Enhance your experience with toppings like whipped cream, fresh berries, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to ensure tender waffles.
- Make sure the waffle iron is well preheated for crispy texture.
- Use a light hand when swirling to maintain the marbled effect without blending the batters fully.
- Serve immediately for best texture, or keep warm in a low oven if preparing ahead.
