Instructions

Sieve the flour, salt and baking powder together. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients. Separate the yolks and whites of eggs, add the yolks, chocolate essence and melted butter to dry ingredients. Mix to a moderately thin batter with milk. Lastly, fold in stiffly beaten whites of egg, heat the waffle-iron and cook. Serve with syrup.

Cooking Instructions for Waffles

The most convenient way of filling a waffle-iron with batter is to pour it from a jug into the centre of the lower plate. Usually about two large tablespoons are sufficient to cover the iron, the batter being thin enough to flow all over. The top plate is then lowered and the waffle cooked for two minutes on one side. The plate is then reversed and the waffle cooked for another two minutes, or until crisp or brown. The waffle should then be lifted off and kept hot and the iron reheated and greased before proceeding to cook the rest of the batter.
