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, being careful 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: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure even cooking and crisp waffles.
- Create the Marbled Effect: Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron. Pour a small amount of classic waffle batter onto the waffle iron, then add a small amount of red velvet batter on top. Use a toothpick or knife to gently swirl the two batters together, creating a beautiful marble pattern.
- Cook the Waffles: Close the waffle iron and cook the batter according to the manufacturer’s instructions until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through, typically around 4-6 minutes depending on your waffle iron.
- Serve: Remove the waffles carefully and serve warm. Top with whipped cream, fresh berries, maple syrup, or your favorite toppings for an indulgent breakfast or dessert.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough waffles; mix until just combined.
- Adjust the swirl amount to your preference for the marbled effect.
- Use fresh buttermilk for the best flavor and texture.
- Let the waffle iron fully preheat to ensure a crisp exterior.
- These waffles can be kept warm in a low oven while you finish cooking the rest.
