I had a great idea this morning. I have been experimenting with my new waffle maker lately. This past weekend I made chocolate waffles. They came out ok. Not too chocolatey. But I thought to myself...self...the aztecs drank a chocolate drink with chiles in it. So why not make chocolate chili waffles. So that is what I did... I started with chipotle. You can use any chile you like. I'm sure they would be wonderful even hotter. I started light. * Exported from MasterCook * Chocolate Chipotle Waffles Recipe By : Risa Golding Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 2 eggs -- lightly beaten 3 tbsp sugar 3/4 cup milk 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 1/2 cup chocolate syrup 4 tbsp butter -- melted 1 1/2 cups cake flour -- sifted 3 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 1 1/2 tsp chipotle pepper powder Combine eggs (or egg substitute), sugar, milk and vanilla extract; stir thoroughly.
