Chocolate Waffles

Hello, my name is Matt and I am a high school student. When saw this contest I immediately decided I would join because cooking is a skill I need to learn and get better at. I am off to college in a little over a year and don't know how to cook or bake.

The following supplies below make 1 waffle:

waffle maker

Bowl

Waffle mix (1 cup)

Measuring cup

Water (3/4 cup)

Chocolate chips (as many as you want)

Spray (use for waffle maker so the batter does not stick)

Syrup

Fork, knife, and spoon

The first step is to let the waffle maker heat up. Do not put a waffle in the maker before a beep or light indicates ready. Mine beeps and glows green when ready.

The second step is to measure out the water. Use a measuring cup with purified water and fill to 3/4. Then pour into the bowl.

Step three take your batter and measure out 1 cup. Then pour batter into the bowl.

Step four mix the water and batter together. Do this for 2 minutes and ensure that all the batter is off the side of the bowl.

Step five is my favorite step. Add in as many chocolate chips as you want. The more you add the better!

Step 6 mix the chocolate chips into the batter and water. Then let the batter sit for 2-3 minutes before pouring into the waffle machine.

Before pouring batter spray the waffle machine. Although this is not needed helps waffle mix not stick and makes it easier to clean up.

Step eight pour the batter into the waffle maker. I recommend pouring in the middle and taking a spoon to lightly move the batter around. After closing the waffle maker. Leave in the maker for about 2-3 minutes.

Open the waffle machine once you hear a beep or a light glows. The more burnt you like the longer you should leave in the machine. If you like any yummy topping like syrup add now!
