This was actually brought on by laziness. Waffles sounded good for breakfast and I didn't want to wait for butter to warm to room temperature. I also wasn't really in the mood to melt it. We always have olive oil on hand so I thought I would just substitute that for butter. From now on, I think I'll use olive oil because the waffles seemed to turn out better. When I made the waffles with butter they were a pretty even consistency when cooked. When I made them with oil this time they have a slight crust to them with a nice soft inside. We all liked them better this way so I will continue to go the lazy route and measure out olive oil rather than wait for butter to warm.
Once again, here's my recipe revised.
Ingredients:* 1/4 cup olive oil
* 1 3/4 cups milk (we had 1% in the fridge so I used that)
* 1 egg
* 2 cups flour
* 1/2 cup granulated sugar
* 1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
* 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 3 Tablespoons brown sugar
* cinnamon for dusting (optional)
Directions:Mix everything together and then cook according to your waffles irons directions.

We love pancakes and I almost always use olive oil (or safflower oil) instead of butter. It just seems to do a better job of cooking the pancakes more evenly.
