Steps:
- Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (to keep cooked waffles warm). Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the milk, butter, shortening and eggs in another bowl. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and gently stir until just incorporated (it's okay if there are some lumps).
- Lightly brush the top and bottom of the waffle iron with butter. Fill the waffle iron about three-quarters of the way full (some waffle iron should still be showing). Close the lid gently and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, 6 to 7 minutes. Keep the cooked waffles warm in the oven or covered with foil on a plate while you make the remaining waffles.
- Serve with maple syrup, butter, sugar or fruit preserves.

CLASSIC WAFFLES
This is a no-fail recipe. Fluffy on the inside and slightly crisp on the outside. You can also substitute regular milk for the buttermilk and they turn out just as good! I have a Belgian waffle maker that flips 180 degrees, so please note that the "flipping waffle maker over" part of the recipe is aimed at that type of machine (think Waffle House). If you have a standard waffle maker, I'd suggest pouring the batter into the center of the bottom and spreading it out a little with a spoon before closing the lid.

Steps:
- Place all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and combine until well blended.
- Allow batter to rest 5 minutes before using.
- Use in your Belgian Waffle Maker according to manufacturer's suggestion.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Waffle Maker: Opt for a Belgian waffle maker with deep pockets to create thick, fluffy waffles. For classic-style waffles, a traditional round waffle maker will suffice.
- Use High-Quality Ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients make a world of difference in the taste of your waffles. Use real butter, pure vanilla extract, and farm-fresh eggs for the best results.
- Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in dense, tough waffles. Mix just until the ingredients are combined, taking care not to overwork the batter.
- Let the Batter Rest: Allowing the batter to rest for at least 5 minutes before cooking helps the gluten relax, resulting in lighter, fluffier waffles.
- Cook the Waffles Properly: Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Pour enough batter to fill the waffle maker about two-thirds full. Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve Immediately: Waffles are best enjoyed fresh off the waffle maker. Serve them with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.

Creating delicious, classic waffles at home is easy with a few simple tips. By following these steps, you can enjoy perfectly cooked waffles that are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
