# Directions:

04 - Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together until just combined, ensuring not to overmix.
05 - Lightly coat the preheated waffle iron with oil or nonstick spray. Pour approximately 1/2 cup of batter per waffle (or as suited for your model) and cook until golden and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes per batch.

07 - Arrange warm waffles on serving plates. Pipe melted chocolate in a spiral on each waffle, then use a toothpick to draw lines from the center outward, forming a web pattern.
