Variations and substitutions
- With wholemeal flour.
- With plant-based milk.
- Savoury version (no sugar).
- With whisked egg whites (lighter, airier).
Storage and making ahead

💡 Good to know
Whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks and fold them in at the end: your waffles will be noticeably lighter and airier.
