Dark Chocolate Chip Belgian Waffles - all-purpose

Method

• 1. Preheat waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
• 2. Add flour, salt, baking powder, sugar and cinnamon into a sifter.
• 3. Sift dry ingredients into a large bowl.
• 4. Sprinkle in chocolate chips and mix well.
• 5. Allow the melted butter to cool a bit.
• 6. In another bowl add eggs, milk, vanilla and melted butter and blend.
• 7. Pour the wet ingredients a little at a time into the dry until mixed well.
• 8. Open waffle iron, and pour some batter into the iron just to cover the bottom plate.
• 9. Close the iron, turn it over and cook for 2 minutes (I usually set the iron to about a 5 to heat up then turn it to 3 1/2 - 4 using the first waffle to gauge cooking time and heat).
• 10. Once it is browned to your liking, take the waffle out of the iron. Repeat until all the batter is used.
• 11. Place a spoonful of vanilla ice cream in the center of each waffle.
• 12. Add a dollop of raspberry jam or one of your liking.
• 13. Finish with a lite drizzle of organic real maple syrup.
• 14. Serve with a ramekin of fresh fruit salad.
