26. Waffle House Waffles

INGREDIENTS:

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 egg
1/2 cup plus 1 tbsp white sugar
4 tbsp butter, softened
1/2 cup half and half (or 1/2 cup milk)
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup buttermilk (1/2 cup milk + 1/2 tbsp vinegar)
1/2 tsp vanilla

DIRECTIONS:

1. Combine flour, salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl.  Stir to combine.
2. Lightly beat the egg in another medium bowl. Stir to combine.
3. Add the dry flour mixture to the wet mixture while beating. Mix until smooth.
4. If you want, you can cover and chill overnight and they are supposed to come out a little better that way.
5. Rub a light coating of vegetable oil on a waffle iron.  Preheat the waffle iron.  Leave the batter out of the refrigerator to warm up a bit as your waffle iron is preheating.
6. 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.
