RED VELVET WAFFLES WITH CREAM CHEESE GLAZE

Ingredients
Waffles
2 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 tbsp plus 1 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 3/4 cups buttermilk
1/3 cup butter melted and cooled
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp red food coloring
Glaze:
4 oz cream cheese softened room temp
4 tbsp butter softened
1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup whole milk

Instructions

1. Whip the cream cheese and butter together in a large bowl until smooth. Carefully whisk in the confectioners' sugar, then add the vanilla and milk. Whisk until the glaze is smooth. Set aside.
2. Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, cocoa and salt in a large bowl. Beat the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, vanilla and vinegar together in separate medium bowl until smooth, then stir in the red food coloring (See Note 1). Add the buttermilk mixture to the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth.
3. Heat your waffle iron according to the manufacturers' instructions. Spray the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray and then pour about 1 cup of the waffle batter onto the waffle grid. Close and cook until the waffle is deep red and crisp on the outside, about 3 minutes.
4. Repeat with the remaining waffle batter. Serve each waffle drizzled with the cream cheese glaze and chopped pecans (optional).
