]]> 30778 2 52 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/3116/52.jpg Mix ingredients Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Mix the wet ingredients in another bowl, making sure that the melted shortening and butter are not too hot—if they are, the eggs will begin to cook.

]]> 30779 3 63 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/3116/63.jpg Combine wet and dry ingredients Make a depression in the center of the dry mixture and pour in the wet mixture. Stir gently. The resulting batter should be smooth but not too thin.

]]> 30780 4 75 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/3116/75.jpg Pour batter into waffle iron Drop about 1⁄2 cup of batter onto the center of the hot waffle iron and spread until the entire surface of the iron is thickly coated.

]]> 30781 5 84 Tip Most waffle irons have a nonstick surface, but if yours doesn’t, or if your waffles have been hard to remove in the past, coat the cooking surface with butter or vegetable oil before you start.

]]> 30782 6 95 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/3116/95.jpg Cook waffle Close the lid immediately and let the waffle cook for at least three minutes before checking on it. Remove when the waffle appears golden-brown and its surface is crispy. If you’re cooking for a large group, stack the cooked waffles in a baking pan, cover it with aluminum foil, and put in an oven set to 200˚ Fahrenheit until you’re ready to serve.

]]> 30783 7 122 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/3116/122.jpg Choose a topping Now comes the hard part—choosing a topping. Waffles are great with strawberries, ice cream, bananas, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, powdered sugar, or—as a soul food favorite—chicken.

]]> 30784 8 136 Fact The Belgian waffle—square and thick, with deep indentations—was introduced to America at the 1964 New York World’s Fair.
