Try the recipe that has sold millions of waffles. If you prefer pecan waffles, add 1/4 cup chopped pecans before pouring the batter onto the waffle iron

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 tablespoons butter, softened
2 tablespoons shortening
1/2 cup half-and-half
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup buttermilk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla

Directions

1
Combine flour, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl and stir to combine.
2
Lightly beat the egg in another medium bowl and combine with sugar, butter, and shortening, mixing well until smooth.
3
Add the half & half, milk, buttermilk and vanilla and mix well.
4
Add the dry flour mixture to the wet mixture while beating and mix until smooth.
5
If you can, cover and chill overnight, though the batter can be used right away.
6
Rub a light coating of vegetable oil on a waffle iron, and preheat it.
7
Leave the batter out of the refrigerator to warm up a bit as your waffle iron is preheating.
8
Spoon 1/3 to 1/2 cup of batter into the waffle iron and cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until the waffles are light brown.

These waffles turned out nice and crispy- and of course, delicious. The recipe made 4 waffles with my iron, so I would double if feeding more people. Thanks for the recipe!

I have never been to a Waffle House, but these waffles are wonderful. For our family of five, definitely will double the recipe next time! Thanks SJG!

This recipe was great, but it wasn't quite Waffle House. I found it to be missing something...so at the end, when I had just a little bit of the batter left, I did a little experiment. A while back, my father-in-law told me that the secret to Waffle House's waffles was malt....so, i threw some malt in at the end. For the last two waffles, I added about a 1/4 cup of malt. (for those who don't know, it's a powder. the brand i got was Carnation and sometimes you put it on ice cream) That tasted alot more like Waffle House waffles. Thanks for posting a great recipe!

This is the BEST waffle recipe I've ever had. I used nonfat half & half, low fat buttermilk, nonfat milk & Splenda & it turned out fabulous. Great texture, great flavor. Thank you so much; I've been looking for a homemade waffle recipe & now I can show this one off!
