Sweet and Fluffy Malted Milk Waffles

I first read about adding malt powder to pancakes on the King Arthur Flour website. Apparently lots of popular pancake places use it in their pancake batter. When I found this recipe for malted milk waffles I couldn't wait to make them. They are everything their name implies. These waffles bake up light and fluffy and although my perfect waffle is crisp on the outside and soft on the inside these were really firm, yet soft so I didn't miss the crispiness at all.
