Equipment

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

Ingredients

Waffles

  • cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 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
  • 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.
