Chocolate Chip Waffles
Description
This recipe starts by whisking together flour, corn starch, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, providing the leavening and structure. Wet ingredients include buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract, creating a batter that rests to develop better texture. Chocolate chips fold in last to avoid overmixing.
Cooking occurs on a preheated waffle iron until golden with minimal steam release, ensuring a crisp exterior. Waffles can then be kept warm in a low oven on a rack to prevent sogginess. Serving with melted butter and syrup enhances the rich and sweet elements of the waffles.
The recipe notes include tips for substituting buttermilk with milk and acid, using a cooling rack to maintain crispiness, and proper waffle spacing when storing warm.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour 90g
- ¼ cup corn starch 30g
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar 12g
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk *
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg large
- ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- butter optional for serving, melted
- syrup optional for serving
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, corn starch, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Make a shallow well in the dry ingredients and add buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla. Stir together until just combined.
- Allow batter to rest for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 200°F or set it to the warm setting and set a baking sheet (with cooling rack if you have one) inside.*
- After the batter has rested, fold in the chocolate chips.
- Preheat waffle iron and cook batter according to your iron’s instructions*, typically 4 to 6 minutes per waffle, until waffle is nicely golden and has mostly stopped releasing steam.
- Transfer waffle to your warm oven while you cook the rest of the batter.*
- Top with melted butter and syrup if desired, and enjoy!
Notes
- Substitute buttermilk by adding 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar to milk and letting it sit 5 minutes before use.
- Resting the batter for 30 minutes helps improve waffle texture.
- Use a cooling rack in the oven to keep waffles crisp while cooking multiple batches.
- If your waffle maker needs greasing, do so to prevent sticking; otherwise, leave ungreased.
- Do not stack waffles in the oven, as this traps steam and softens them.
