“Today we are doing breakfast for lunch and I ended up doing waffles because I’ve completely given up,” Levy said. We hear you, Dan.
Levy admitted to using a boxed mix to make his perfect waffles (no judgment here), but he did add some vanilla, cinnamon and a pat of butter to the mix to give it a little more flavor. He also added 1 ½ tablespoons of sour cream.
“Like buttermilk and yogurt, sour cream adds moisture and tang to waffles and baked goods,” says Megan Steintrager,EatingWell’s senior digital food editor. “Because it’s cultured, the acidic ingredient reacts with alkaline leaveners, like baking soda, for a little lift and fluffy texture.”
