Beat egg yolks well; add milk and shortening. Combine salt, sugar, and flour. Add to first mixture. Beat until smooth. Fold in stiffly beaten egg whites. Sift baking powder lightly over the mixture and fold in quickly. Bake in hot waffle iron.
Have a great breakfast!!!
Mr Breakfast would like to thank baseball27 for this recipe.
Great recipe for the health conscious. I used sunflower oil instead of shortening. Added 1 tsp vanilla and 1 tsp cinnamon. 2 1/2 minutes in the waffle maker. Served with real maple syrup and fresh strawberries. Awesome.

I added vanilla and cinnamon (1 tsp each) and used canola oil instead of shortening, baking powder folded in last and these were perfect and delicious!

Great waffles. I too substituted shortening for equal parts applesauce, and olive oil. You can also add 1/4 banana per waffle to the batter, plus a handful of walnuts for some crunch. I triple the recipe and put the rest in the freezer. Healthier than store bought multi-grain waffles. Thanks!
