- Make sure to use fresh eggs for the best results.
- For a healthier option, substitute the shortening with melted butter.
- Replace buttermilk with almond milk: Almond milk is a great alternative for those who are lactose intolerant or vegan. It also has a mild flavor that won't overpower the other ingredients in the waffle recipe.
- Replace shortening with olive oil: Olive oil is a healthier option than shortening and it adds a subtle flavor to the waffles. It also helps to keep the waffles moist and fluffy.
Banana Waffles Add 1/2 cup mashed bananas to the egg mixture and proceed with the recipe as directed.
Maple Syrup-Glazed Bacon: Crispy bacon glazed with maple syrup and a pinch of cayenne pepper. This sweet and savory combination is a perfect accompaniment to the classic waffle.
