In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking powder and salt.
Add flour mixture to the chocolate mixture alternately with the milk, blending well after each addition. (If using buttermilk, which is a little thicker than milk, add a little more, if necessary, to thin almost to the pouring consistency.)
With an electric mixer, beat egg whites until stiff. Fold them into the batter.
Place about 1/3 cup batter in hot waffle iron (sprayed with a nonstick spray), close the cover and bake until the steaming stops.
These waffles are dark, so don�t judge doneness by the color.
Serve sprinkled with confectioners� sugar and topped with strawberry slices to taste.
Note: Not too sweet, these waffles can be topped with sweetened whipped cream or a variety of fruits and syrups, and they will double as dessert fare.
