Equipment

• large bowl
• two quart-sized Ziploc bags
• small pan
• waffle iron

Ingredients

Waffles

• 3¾ cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 2¼ cup milk
• 2 eggs
• 3 tbsp butter melted
• 4 food coloring colors of choice
• spray oil

Stout Syrup

• 12 oz dark stout or dark beer
• 1¾ cup sugar
• ½ tbsp butter

Instructions

Waffles

• Whisk the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
• Add the milk, eggs, and melted butter and whisk until no lumps remain.
• Separate the batter into two quart-sized Ziploc bags.
• Add 4-5 drops of food coloring to each bag. Close bag.
• Using your hands, mix together from the outside of the bag until you get a cohesive color. Repeat for the remaining bags/colors.
• Heat up waffle iron and spray with nonstick spray.
• Cut a small corner off each bag and pipe squiggly lines over your waffle iron, repeat with the rest of the color.
• Close the top and cook until batter is firm. You donʻt want to overcook, or it will turn the colors brown.

Stout Syrup

• Heat beer and sugar over medium heat until foamy.
• Bring to a gentle simmer and cook 30-40 minutes or until it has a thick consistency.
• Melt the butter in the syrup and serve with the waffles.

Notes

Suggestions for Stouts:

The stout is a beer with a dark body and creamy notes! According to Harpoon Brewery, this flavor is created from the use of darker, more aromatic malt that has been roasted or kilned until it acquires a chocolate color.
