Malted Milk Waffles
- add review
- #26485
Malted milk powder adds a little additional sweetness to the waffles and the additional buttermilk adds richness. Beating the egg whites and folding them in means the waffles will be light and fluffy, not dense and heavy. This is a great way to dress up a package of pancake mix! Malted milk powder can be purchased in most grocery stores. Look for it by the other powdered drink mixes or hot cocoa mixes.

under 30 minutes
ingredients
1/3 cup malted milk powder
2 1/2 cups dry buttermilk pancake mix
2 tablespoons sugar
2 eggs, separated
1 1/3 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup melted butter
directions
Preheat a waffle iron.
Combine the malted milk powder, pancake mix, and sugar in a large bowl. Mix well.
In another bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
While stirring, add the egg yolks, buttermilk, and melted butter to the malted milk powder mixture. Stir well to incorporate the liquid ingredients. Fold the egg whites into the batter.
Grease the waffle iron. Pour or ladle the batter onto the hot waffle grid as directed by the manufacturer. Cook the waffle until browned and cooked through. Remove the waffle and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining waffle batter.
Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings.
The waffles can be cooled to room temperature and frozen in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Reheat the waffles in a toaster or toaster oven.
recipe tips
For extra flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract or almond extract to the batter.
If you don't have malted milk powder, you can substitute with cocoa powder for a chocolate version.
Whipping the egg whites separately and folding them in gently will help your waffles stay light and airy.
To keep waffles warm while cooking more, place them on a wire rack on a baking sheet in a preheated oven.
Try different toppings like caramel sauce, fruit compote, or even savory options like fried chicken.
Try adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for a warm, spiced flavor.
common recipe questions
What is malted milk powder?
Malted milk powder is a sweet powder made from malted barley, wheat flour, and milk. It can be found in most large grocery stores by either the drink mixes (such as hot cocoa) or the baking aisle (near the dry milk powder and evaporated milk).
Can I use regular milk instead of buttermilk?
Buttermilk adds a tangy flavor and richness to the waffles, but you can substitute it with regular milk if needed, though the flavor and texture may be slightly different. You can also make your own buttermilk substitute by adding 1 tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar per 1 cup of regular milk. For this recipe you can get away with adding 1 tablespoon lemon juice to 1 1/4 cups of regular milk.
Can I make the batter ahead of time?
You can make the batter in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just give it a stir before using.
Can I make these waffles without a waffle iron?
No, the batter is specifically designed for a waffle iron. You can try cooking them in a skillet like pancakes, but they won't have quite the same texture.
How do I store leftovers?
You can store leftover cooked waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a toaster, toaster oven, air fryer, or regular oven until heated through and crispness is restored.
How can I reheat frozen waffles?
To reheat frozen waffles, place them (frozen) in a toaster, toaster oven, air fryer, or regular oven until they are heated through and crispy again.
