Editorial Notes
The ingredient tips, suggestions, variations, facts, questions and answers below are not edits to the original author's recipe. They are not meant to imply any change would improve the recipe.

- When selecting the butter, be sure to use a high-quality butter for the best flavor.
- Make sure to use lukewarm milk, not cold, to prevent the batter from becoming too thick.
- Replace butter with coconut oil: Coconut oil has a higher smoke point than butter, which makes it a great option for cooking waffles. This will help to prevent the waffles from burning and give them a slightly nuttier flavor.
- Replace all-purpose flour with almond flour: Almond flour is a good source of healthy fats and protein, making it a healthier alternative to all-purpose flour. It also has a slightly nutty flavor that will add to the overall taste of the waffles.
Vegan Old Waffles Replace the butter with vegan butter, replace the egg whites with 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed mixed with 6 tablespoons of water, and replace the milk with non-dairy milk.
Maple-Glazed Bacon: Sweet and salty, this bacon is the perfect accompaniment to Old Waffles. The maple glaze adds a hint of sweetness to the salty bacon, and the flavors pair perfectly with the warm waffles.
Fruit Salad: A light and refreshing side to balance out the salty and sweet flavors of the Maple-Glazed Bacon and Old Waffles. The fruit salad adds a bright and fruity flavor to the meal, while also providing a healthy option.
