In my opinion, breakfast is the best meal. I could eat breakfast food all day! Sweets are also a favorite of mine, so maybe that’s why breakfast is my meal of choice. When I saw this recipe for Old-Fashioned Chocolate Waffles from Scratch in my grandma’s cookbook, I knew I had to make it. Chocolate at breakfast? Yes, please!

Old-Fashioned Chocolate Waffles from Scratch

This is definitely a vintage recipe because it involves more steps than most home bakers are used to taking these days. It requires melting the chocolate over a double boiler and separating the yolks and whites of the eggs. The egg whites also have to be whipped until stiff peaks form. All of these methods definitely add to the quality and flavor.

Is this recipe simple and quick? No. Is it delicious? Yes!
