Red Velvet Waffles

0 Combine the dry ingredients — [wprm-ingredient text="1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour" uid="0"], [wprm-ingredient text="½ cup cocoa powder" uid="1"], [wprm-ingredient text="¾ cup granulated sugar" uid="2"], [wprm-ingredient text="¼ cup cornstarch" uid="3"], [wprm-ingredient text="2 teaspoons baking powder" uid="4"], [wprm-ingredient text="2 teaspoons baking soda" uid="5"] and [wprm-ingredient text="1 teaspoon kosher salt" uid="6"] — in a large bowl and whisk together.
1 In a smaller bowl, combine the wet ingredients — [wprm-ingredient text="2 cups buttermilk" uid="7"], [wprm-ingredient text="¼ cup oil" uid="8"], [wprm-ingredient text="2 eggs" uid="9"], [wprm-ingredient text="1 teaspoon vanilla extract and " uid="10"][wprm-ingredient text="1 teaspoon red gel food coloring" uid="11"] — and whisk until smooth.
2 It is important to stir this vigorously so that the egg mixes into the rest of the wet ingredients.
3 Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and slowly whisk together, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix the batter.
4 Preheat the waffle iron and spritz lightly with cooking spray.
5 Pour ½ cup of the batter into the warmed waffle iron, spreading with a rubber spatula until at the edges.
6 Cook per the manufacturer's instructions. (I like mine crispy on the outside, so I cook them on a higher setting. To each their own.)
7 When the waffles are cooked to your liking, serve warm with a drizzle of [wprm-ingredient text="Cream Cheese Icing" uid="12"]. Enjoy!
