Title: Waffle House Waffles
Categories: Copycat, Waffles
Yield: 6 Waffles

1 1/2 c All-purpose flour
1 ts Salt
1/2 ts Baking soda
1 Egg
1/2 c Granulated sugar; +1 tb
2 tb Butter; softened
2 tb Shortening
1/2 c Half & half
1/2 c Milk
1/4 c Buttermilk
1/4 ts Vanilla

It was two friendly Atlanta, Georgia neighbors who got together in
1955 to build the first Waffle House in their eventual
1200-restaurant chain. With the dimpled breakfast hotcake as a
signature item (and this is 3 years before IHOP was founded!), the
privately-held chain grew into 20 Southern U.S. states. Today tasty
food at rock-bottom prices, plus 24-hours-a-day service, makes Waffle
House a regular stop for devoted customers any time of the day or
night. And don't even think about referring to your server as a
waitress; they're called "associates."

For the best clone of the 45-year-old secret formula for these
waffles you really should chill this batter overnight in the fridge
as they do in each of the restaurants. But, hey, sometimes you just
can't wait, right? If you need instant gratification, the recipe
still works fine if you cook up the waffles the same day. At least
wait for 15 to 20 minutes after you make the batter so that it can
rest and thicken a bit. That'll give you time to search for the
waffle iron and heat it up. Also, you might need some time to dust it
off.

Combine flour, salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl. Stir to
combine.

Lightly beat the egg in another medium bowl. Add the sugar, butter,
and shortening and mix well with an electric mixer until smooth. Add
the half & half, milk, buttermilk, and vanilla. Mix well.

Add the dry flour mixture to the wet mixture while beating. Mix until
smooth.

Cover and chill overnight. You can use batter right away if you like,
but a good 12-hour chill makes the batter better.

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.

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.
