Ingredients
6 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tbsp shortening
6 tbsp butter or margarine
1 cup flour
2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1 tbsp vanilla
Directions
Melt first three ingredients in small pan, then set aside to cool. Mix
rest, then add chocolate mixture. Drop by teaspoonful on each square
of a waffle iron and cook for one minute. When cool drizzle with
melted frosting. I use BC chocolate frosting but a cocoa/powdered
sugar/milk frosting would work well also.

The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of meal recipes back into ancient history, certainly as far as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these ancient records were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of stone tablets in the Sumerian language describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel wonderful and blissful. As we move into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created some documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he informs us how the Romans made use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as bay, fennel and asafoetida. As we move on, we have a couple of cookery books which appeared in the 14th Century : one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these are not about the indian curry that is popular today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals on the menus of the rich and powerful of that period. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from the holy lands, such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes prompted an increase in recipe books, many of which are now in academic collections. By the advent of the 20th century, cooking publications were highly popular mostly as a result of better eduction, more free time and being a little richer. |
