Instructions



1. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl. In another bowl, beat the chocolate, egg yolks, and vanilla lightly. Beat the milk and ½ cup of the butter into the egg mixture. Fold the flour mixture into the egg mixture. Stir until combined, yet still slightly lumpy. In a small bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter, leaving little fluffs of egg whites. Pour 1 cup batter onto grids of a preheated lightly greased waffle iron (grease the waffle iron with 2 tablespoons butter, in all). Close the lid quickly; do not open during baking. Bake according to the manufacturer's directions.
   
   
2. Melt the remaining butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sugar, stirring constantly until it dissolves, about 1 minute. Add the raspberries and cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the Grand Marnier. Flame the liquor and continue to cook for 1 minute.
   
   
3. Serve the waffles with the raspberry syrup and sweetened whipped cream. Garnish with confectioners' sugar.
