- When choosing the butter, make sure to use a high-quality butter for the best flavor.
- If you want to make the waffles even sweeter, use whole milk instead of 2% or skim.
- Substitute almond milk for the cow's milk to make the waffles dairy-free. This substitution will make the waffles suitable for those with dairy allergies, while still providing the same sweet flavor.
- Substitute vegetable oil for the melted butter to make the waffles vegan-friendly. This substitution will provide a healthier alternative to butter, while still providing the same fluffy texture.
Blueberry Waffles Follow the recipe as directed, but add 1 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries to the wet ingredients. Fold in the blueberries before adding the egg whites.
Maple-Glazed Bacon: Crispy bacon strips glazed with maple syrup make the perfect accompaniment to sweet milk waffles. The salty-sweet combination will have your taste buds singing!
Fried Eggs: Fried eggs are the perfect complement to maple-glazed bacon. The creamy yolk pairs nicely with the sweet glaze, and the salty bacon adds a delicious contrast to the eggs. Plus, this classic breakfast dish is quick and easy to make!
