Chocolate waffles with a fresh raspberry syrup

4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1½ cup Flour
1 tablespoon Baking powder
¼ teaspoon Salt
⅓ cup Melted semisweet chocolate
2 Egg yolks
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1¾ cup Milk
½ cup Plus 5 tablespoons melted
Butter
2 Egg whites
½ cup Sugar
2 pints Fresh raspberries
dash Grand Marnier
2 cups Sweetened whipped cream
Shaker of powdered sugar

Directions

In a mixing bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt. In another bowl beat the chocolate, egg yolks and vanilla slightly. Beat the milk and ½ cup of the butter into the egg mixture. Fold the flour mixture into the egg mixture. Stir until combined yet still slightly lumpy. In a small bowl beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.

Gently fold beaten egg whites into batter , leaving little fluffs of egg whites. Pour 1 cup batter onto grids of a preheated, lightly greased waffle iron (grease the waffle iron with 2 tablespoons of the butter, in all). Close lid quickly: do not open during baking. Bake according to the manufacturer's directions for the waffle iron. In a saute pan, melt the remaining butter. Add the sugar, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Add the raspberries and saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the Grand Marnier. Flame the liquor and continue to cook for 1 minute. Serve the waffles with the raspberry syrup and sweetened whipped cream. Garnish with powdered sugar.
