Equipment

Heart-shaped waffle iron

Ingredients

1 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
⅓ cup cocoa powder Dutch-processed cocoa preferred but natural cocoa works well, too
⅓ cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
¾ teaspoon fine salt
3 eggs
1 cup sour cream
¾ cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled
½ cup mini chocolate chips optional
To Serve:
Fresh berries jam or fruit compote
Whipped cream

Instructions

Whisk flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
Whisk eggs together in a large bowl. Add sour cream and whisk until smooth. Add milk, vanilla and melted butter and whisk until fully combined. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir gently with rubber spatula until the mixture just comes together (It will not be entirely smooth). Fold in mini-chocolate chips if using.
Heat waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Cook waffles one at a time until golden brown and crisp. Serve immediately or transfer to a 200 degree oven to keep warm. Serve waffles with fresh berries, jam, fruit compote, whipped cream, sour cream, creme fraiche, ice cream, Creamy Vanilla Sauce, and/or other toppings of your choice.

Notes

Be sure to read the instructions on your waffle maker for how much batter to use for each waffle. Mine recommends one-third cup.
For an authentically Scandinavian waffle, I recommend the heart-shaped waffle maker but any waffle maker will work with this recipe.
