Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Easy Red Velvet Waffles
  1. Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions—this usually takes about 5 minutes or until it signals readiness.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.75 tsp of salt, 4 tsp of baking powder, 1.5 tbsp of granulated sugar, and 1 tbsp of unsweetened cocoa powder until well blended.
  3. In a separate medium mixing bowl, crack 2 large eggs and beat them lightly. Then, add 2.25 cups of milk, 0.75 cup of vegetable oil, and 1 tbsp of Lorann Red Velvet Bakery Emulsion or red food coloring. Mix until combined.
  4. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients, using a spatula to mix gently. Stir until just combined—be careful not to overmix.
  5. Pour approximately ½ to ¾ cup of batter into the preheated waffle maker. Close the lid and cook for roughly 4-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
  6. Carefully remove the waffles from the waffle maker using a fork or tongs to avoid burns. Let them cool slightly on a wire rack to maintain crispness.
