Whole wheat flour increases fiber content.

Combine 1.5 cups of flour, 0.5 teaspoons of kosher salt, 0.5 teaspoons of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder in a bowl and stir.

Use a mixer to mix the dry ingredients together.

In a medium bowl, beat 1 room temperature chicken egg.

Add 0.5 cups of sugar and 2 tablespoons of shortening to the egg and mix until combined, noting that the mixture will be lumpy.

Add 0.25 cups of half and half, 0.25 cups of buttermilk, and 0.5 cups of whole milk to the egg mixture, then add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Return to the mixer and add 2 tablespoons of butter to the flour mixture, mixing until combined.

Pour the wet mixture into the flour mixture gradually, mixing as you go until fully combined.

Preheat the waffle iron to a low setting (around 2 to 2.5) to prevent burning due to the sugar content.

Scoop the batter onto the waffle iron, filling it appropriately without overfilling.

Close the waffle iron and cook until done, noting that the recipe should yield about 7 to 8 waffles.
