Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons milk
• ⅓ cup vegetable oil
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ⅛ teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons white sugar
• ⅔ cup milk
• 8 drops green food coloring, or as needed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl; whisk to combine. Make a well in the center and add 2/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine just until blended.

Step 2

Add in just enough green food coloring to reach the green color you would like!

Step 3

Preheat a round waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions. Cook batter in the preheated waffle iron until waffle is just cooked through and the iron stops steaming, about 5 minutes. Don't overcook; the longer it cooks, the browner the waffle will turn, and it will lose its green color.

Step 4

Separate the round waffles into wedges, and arrange three wedges overlapping each other on a plate like a Christmas tree.
