Waffles Recipe ‹ Holiday Waffles

This is a recipe that I have used for years. If you are concerned about too much oil you might want to try cutting back a little on the oil. I don't make waffles that much so I don't worry about it! Add couple drops of food coloring to the batter. Red and green food colors for the holidays. Orange for Halloween, pink and red for Valentine's Day, green for St. Patrick's Day, red and blue for Fourth of July, Memorial Day and Labor day! Optional, dust with confectioners powdered sugar.

• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 ½ tablespoons white sugar
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 2 ¼ cups milk
• ¾ cup vegetable oil
• 3 drops food color
