Chocolate Brownie Waffles

(printable recipe)

Ingredients:

1/2 cup shortening

1 cup sugar

2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted

2 eggs, well beaten

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/4 cups cake flour, sifted

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 cup milk

1 tsp. vanilla extract

Directions:

Work the shortening with a spoon until fluffy and creamy.[I use an electric mixer.] Gradually add sugar, while continuing to work with a spoon until light.

Add melted chocolate and eggs and blend well. Sift together the dry ingredients and add alternately with milk to shortening mixture. Add vanilla.

Bake on a heated waffle iron which has been sprayed with Pam. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream. Makes about 9 waffles which can be cut on the diagonal to make 18.  Or using this waffle iron, you will get about 16 waffle sticks.  Enjoy!
