Instructions
Belgian Waffles:
Heat and grease Belgian Waffle maker.
In a large bowl, combine biscuit mix, brown sugar, and cocoa powder.
In another bowl, add egg and whisk. Add buttermilk, melted butter, red food coloring, and club soda, and whisk until combined.
Combine dry and wet ingredients and mix until combined.
Pour batter into Belgian Waffle maker and cook until desired crispiness (I set my waffle maker at a 3.5 out of 5).
Cream Cheese Glaze:
In the bowl of an electric mixer (I use the paddle attachment), beat the cream cheese on medium-high speed until light and fluffy (4 to 5 minutes).
Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk, and beat on low until combined. Then beat on medium-high for about one minute. If glaze is too thick, add more milk 1 tablespoon at a time.
Recipe Notes
This batter is of an effervescent nature and does not store well, so cook all at once and then freeze the waffles. Heat them in an oven or toaster oven.
