Instructions
Prepare the dry ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Pro tip: Use a fine sieve to sift the cocoa powder to avoid lumps.
Mix the wet ingredients
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then whisk in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pro tip: Ensure all wet ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother batter.
Combine the mixtures
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Pro tip: Overmixing can make the waffles tough.
Preheat the waffle iron
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Pro tip: A hot waffle iron ensures crispy edges.

Pro tip: Steam will stop escaping when the waffles are done.
Serve the waffles
Carefully remove the waffles and serve immediately with your choice of toppings.
Pro tip: Keep cooked waffles warm in a low oven if making multiple batches.
