Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking soda.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy.
  4. Add the buttermilk and melted shortening to the eggs and stir to combine.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; do not overmix, as small lumps are fine.
  6. Pour enough batter onto the preheated waffle iron to cover the surface evenly.
  7. Close the lid and cook until the waffle is golden brown and crisp, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  8. Remove the waffle and serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
