Chocolate Waffles

Our friends invited us over for dessert and made these for us - they were SO yummy!

2 eggs, separated

3/4 c. milk

1/2 tsp. vanilla

1 1/2 c. flour

1 1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 c. sugar

6 T. cocoa powder or 2 squares unsweetened chocolate

1/2 c. butter, melted

toppings (such as ice cream, chocolate syrup, nuts, caramel, etc.)

Beat the eggs yolks with the milk. Mix in vanilla. Add flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. In a separate bowl, mix cocoa powder and melted butter. Add the chocolate mixture to the other ingredients. Beat egg whites until fluffy and fold in with the rest of the batter until blended. (If batter is too thick, thin with milk.) Bake in a waffle iron and serve warm with ice cream and other toppings.
