- 3 cups sifted all-purpose flour (or part whole wheat flour)

- Cinnamon Raisin Waffles - Add a teaspoon cinnamon and a couple spoonfuls of plumped raisins to the batter.
- Ham Waffles - Add a couple of spoonfuls of diced ham to the batter. Sauté it first for better flavor.
- Molasses Spice Waffles - Add a teaspoon of cinnamon and a 1/2-teaspoon of nutmeg to dry ingredients. Add 3 tablespoons of molasses to liquid ingredients.
