Waffles are crispy. I like that. French toast made with sourdough can be crispy too. I can eat three or four pieces of French toast without feeling stuffed too.
I just made really tasty buckwheat pancakes using the whey from homemade goat milk ricotta. You'd think it would be thin and awful. But amazingly pancakes made with whey are delicious and fluffy. It's especially good with buckwheat which really needs a lift. (I like to think it's lower in calories😂)
