Ingredients

• Popular Waffles:
• 2 eggs
• 2 c. buttermilk or sour milk (see below)
• 1 3/4 c. white flour
• 1 c. whole wheat flour
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. soda
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/4 c. plus 2 Tblsp. shortening
• (I use oil)
• Richer Waffles:
• 3 eggs
• 1 1/2 c. buttermilk
• 1 3/4 c. flour
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. soda
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 c. shortening (or oil)

Preparation

Step 1

Heat waffle iron.
Beat eggs; beat in remaining ingredients with beater until smooth.
Pour batter onto center of hot waffle iron.
Bake about 5 mins. or until steaming stops. Remove waffle carefully.

* Note: To substitute milk for buttermilk, separate eggs, beating egg whites until stiff; increase baking powder to 4 tsp.; omit soda & fold egg whites into batter.
* I sometimes substitute sour milk for the buttermilk if I am out. About 1 Tblsp. vinegar to 1 c. milk and let set to sour about 5 mins. Use the same as buttermilk.
