Increase the eggs and/or fat in the recipe & do not overcook.

Even better is to top each waffle with a soft poached egg... poke the
egg so the waffle soaks in all that warm runny egg yolk... the adult
version adds real maple syrup, a fried ham steak, and bottomless
cawfee.

For some reason I never could get used to the taste of maple syrup on the
egg. Although I used to order the proverbial pancake sandwich I always ate
the egg first.

those holes butter pockets?

Butter without quation. Major yum, however being part "Russian" we always
had sour cream on the table when the parents had blini or a variation
thereof, I got used to having some butter and then some sour cream on the
pancakes aand/or waffles/and/or crepes. Then something, anything sweet. To
this day I still love the flavor of butter & sour cream.
