- For a lighter waffle, use margarine instead of lard and butter.
- For a more tart flavor, use whole milk and yogurt.
- Substitute almond milk for regular milk to reduce the fat and calorie content. This substitution will make the waffles lighter and healthier.
- Substitute coconut oil for the lard or vegetable shortening to add a more subtle flavor. This substitution will make the waffles more flavorful and aromatic.
Whole Wheat Waffles Replace the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour and decrease the baking powder to 1 teaspoon and baking soda to 1/4 teaspoon. Use 1/4 cup melted coconut oil in place of the lard and butter.
Berry Compote - This sweet and tart compote is a perfect accompaniment to the light and crisp waffles. The combination of fresh berries, a touch of sugar, and a hint of lemon juice will bring out the flavor of the waffles and create a delicious breakfast experience.
Maple Syrup-Glazed Bacon: Maple syrup-glazed bacon is the perfect salty and sweet addition to the waffles and berry compote. The smoky bacon flavor is enhanced by the sweetness of the maple syrup, while the crispness of the bacon provides a delightful contrast to the soft waffles and compote. This combination will make for a delicious breakfast experience.
