Raised Waffles
The mixing is done the night before
and all you need to do in the morning is add a couple of eggs and some baking
soda. These waffles are crisp on the outside
and delicate on the inside.
½ cup warm water
1 package of dry yeast
2 cups milk, warmed
½ cup (1 stick) of butter, melted
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
2 cups of all purpose flour
2 eggs
¼ teaspoon baking soda
Use a rather large mixing bowl…the
batter will rise to double the original volume.
Put the water in the mixing bowl and sprinkle in the yeast. Let it stand
for 5 minutes.
Add the milk, butter, salt, sugar,
and flout to the yeast mixture and beat until smooth and blended (we like to
use a hand mixer). Cover the bowl with
plastic wrap and let stand overnight at room temperature.
Just before cooking waffles, beat
in the eggs and the baking soda and stirl until well mixed. The batter will be thin, pour about ¼ to ½ cup
batter into a very hot waffle iron. Bake the waffles until they are golden and
crisp. The batter will keep well in the refrigerator for several days.
