Ingredients (makes 1 waffle cake):
Batter:
Topping:
This recipe was developed for Gourmet Sizzler® Electric Griddle (EA-BDC10) with Takoyaki Plate (EA-YBC01). Adjustments may be necessary when using other models.
Make the batter. In a bowl, combine ingredients for the batter, except butter and chocolate chunks. Whisk until there are no lumps, then transfer to a pitcher.
Cook the waffles. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to 300ºF. When preheating completes in about 3 minutes, brush the entire surface of the Takoyaki Plate with melted butter.
Pour the batter from step 1 about halfway full into each hole. Cook for 1 minute, then turn heat off.
Evenly pour the remaining batter into each hole, making sure to cover the entire surface of the Takoyaki plate. Use a spatula to smooth and level the edges. Turn the Temperature Control Dial back to 300ºF, place one chocolate chunk into each hole and continue to cook.
Create a crease line in the middle of the Takoyaki Plate with a soft-edge turner.
When the waffle edges start to brown, gently lift the edge using a bamboo skewer, then use a turner to fold half of the waffle over the other half and stack them.
Cook until done, about 2 minutes. Turn heat off and transfer the waffle to a cutting board. Cut as desired and place on serving plates with toppings. Enjoy!
