Fisher Fair Scone Waffles are made using Fisher Fair Scone Mix to turn a familiar fair treat into fluffy, golden waffles. It may sound unexpected—scones and waffles are usually thought of as different—but with just a few simple tweaks, the scone mix produces a waffle with crisp edges and a tender interior.
Fair Scone Waffles
Many people expect scones to be dense or dry, but the main differences between scones and waffles are shape and cooking method. Using the Fisher Fair Scone Mix as a waffle batter yields an unexpectedly delicious result: the familiar buttery, biscuit-like flavor of fair scones transformed into a breakfast-ready waffle. These waffles are quick to prepare, easy to customize, and ideal for a weekend brunch or a nostalgic treat.
Serve them with fruity jam, fresh berries, or a drizzle of syrup, and they instantly become a nostalgic plate that recalls county fairs and simple comforts.
For classic pairings, try topping the waffles with blackberry or raspberry jam, or a simple blueberry syrup for a bright, sweet contrast. Whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar also works beautifully.

How to Make Waffles with Fair Scone Mix
Here is a clear overview of the process so you know what to expect. Full measurements and times are provided in the recipe card below.
- Mix the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the scone mix, cold water, eggs, and vanilla until just combined. A few small lumps are fine—avoid overmixing.
- Preheat the waffle iron: Heat the iron according to the manufacturer’s directions and lightly grease the plates.
- Cook: Pour about ⅓ to ½ cup of batter per waffle (adjust for your waffle iron). Close the lid and cook until steam mostly stops escaping. For crisper waffles, allow an additional minute or two.
- Repeat and serve: Remove waffles carefully, keep warm if needed, and continue until all batter is used. Serve with jam, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or other preferred toppings.
Also delicious alongside a savory egg and cheese dish for a balanced brunch.
Tips for Perfect Waffles
Waffle makers vary, so learn to judge doneness by steam and appearance rather than relying solely on a timer. As the waffle cooks, steam will escape from the iron; when the heavy flow of steam subsides, the waffle is close to ready. If you prefer a softer waffle, open the iron when only wisps of steam remain. For a crisper finish, wait an extra minute or two after the steam stops before opening.
A light coating of oil or nonstick spray helps waffles release cleanly. If making multiple waffles, keep finished waffles warm in a single layer on a baking sheet in a low oven to retain texture.

- Strawberry or berry sauce: Serve waffles with a quick homemade berry sauce or compote for fresh fruit flavor.
- Waffle stack cake: Layer waffles with ice cream or cream and fruit for a simple, dramatic dessert.
These waffles also pair well with savory mains like biscuits and gravy, breakfast sausages, or a plate of smoked bacon.
