20g Caster Sugar

60g Melted Butter

Method

Heat the waffle maker (if you have one) or griddle pan.

Mix the eggs and milk in a jug

Combine the flour, sugar and cocoa powder in a bowl and gradually add the egg and milk mixture until it’s smooth.

Whilst still whisking, pour in the melted butter, orange essence, zest of orange and chocolate.

Pour a ladleful of batter into the waffle maker or griddle pan and cook for 5-6 minutes.
