A savvy businesswoman and owner of a chain of coffee & waffle houses in NYC during the early 1900s, Alice Foote MacDougall (Carolines great grandmother), has been an inspiration for the Teeccino brand. While thinking of a recipe to make during May (AKA Mothers Day Month) we immediately thought of Alice and her inspiring story. She was famous for her waffles which launched a chain of high-end restaurants in New York City. We slightly modified Alices recipe by substituting half of the milk with a freshly brewed batch of Teeccino Dandelion Coconut (our flavor of the month). We think Alice would have enjoyed our creativity! We hope you enjoy our rendition of Alices recipe as much as we do!
4 eggs [Vegan option: 4 tbsp ground chia seeds and 12 tbsp water to make a "chia egg"]
