Perfect Malted waffles

Perfect Malted waffles

These are my ideal waffles: crispy outer shell, gooey yeast interior, lots of air pockets. They soak up syrup and aren't particularly sweet on their own. Non-diastatic malt powder is the key ingredient here. You can get it online.

Mushroom-style Black Bean Burgers Recipe

A variation on https://www.seriouseats.com/the-best-black-bean-burger-recipe Using mushrooms as the main flavor. Flavor comes out more neutral, needs a bit more seasoning and more interesting toppings, but the patties are more versatile to get away from the southwestern trappings of the original. Main changes: ditched all peppers, adobo, and cheese. Replaced onion with shallots (because shallot and mushroom, of course). Added rehydrated mushrooms.
