- Be sure to use fine cornmeal, not coarse, for a smooth texture.
- It is important to melt the shortening before adding it to the recipe.
- Substitute almond milk for regular milk: Almond milk is a great alternative for those looking for a lactose-free option. It also has the added benefit of being lower in fat and calories than regular milk.
- Substitute olive oil for shortening: Olive oil is a healthier alternative to shortening and adds a subtle flavor to the waffles. It is also a great source of healthy fats and antioxidants.
Chocolate Chip Waffles Add 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips to the dry ingredients before mixing in the rest of the ingredients.
Maple-Glazed Bacon: A sweet and salty combination that pairs perfectly with the Mystery Chef Waffles. The maple glaze will add just the right amount of sweetness while the bacon adds a crunchy texture and smoky flavor.
Fried Eggs: Fried eggs are a classic breakfast side dish that will perfectly complement the sweet and salty flavors of the Maple-Glazed Bacon. The creamy yolk will add a richness to the dish, while the savory flavor of the egg whites will provide balance to the sweetness of the maple glaze. Fried eggs are quick and easy to make, making them a great addition to any breakfast.
