Good Night Waffles
Most of the mixing for these waffles is done the night before. In the morning, just
mix in the eggs, vanilla extract and a pinch of baking soda while the waffle maker
is heating. Leftover batter may be covered and kept in the refrigerator for up to 3
days. Heat your waffle maker in the morning, stir the batter and have a freshly
baked waffle for breakfast.
Makes about 6 waffles
½
cup (125ml) lukewarm (105°F) water
1
tablespoon granulated sugar
2¼ teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast
2
cups (500ml) whole milk, warmed (about 105°F)
½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1
teaspoon salt
2
cups (200g) all-purpose flour
2
large eggs, lightly beaten
2
teaspoons pure vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon baking soda
The night before, or at least 8 hours before baking, combine the warm water,
granulated sugar and yeast. Let stand 10 minutes, until foamy. Stir in the warm
milk, melted butter and salt. Beat in the flour until smooth; (this may be done
using a hand mixer on low speed).
Wrap bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let stand overnight (or for 8 hours) on the
countertop; do not refrigerate.
When ready to bake, preheat your Waring
®
Belgian Waffle Maker on setting #5 or
preferred setting* (ready light will illuminate when preheated).
While the waffle maker is heating, stir the eggs, vanilla and baking soda into the
batter. Use measuring cup to measure out batter. Pour into waffle grids. Use a
heat-proof spatula to spread the batter evenly over the grids. Close cover and
rotate 180˚ to the right. Bake the waffles until the Ready light turns off and then
on again. Rotate 180˚ to the left. Remove waffle and repeat with remaining batter.
For best results, do not open waffle maker during cooking process.
Waffles may be kept warm in a low (200°F/95°C) oven. Arrange waffles on a
cookie sheet on a rack in the oven. Serve with sliced fresh fruit, jam, powdered
sugar, a warm fruit syrup, or whipped cream.
*We recommend using setting #5 to achieve a golden-brown baked Belgian
waffle. Adjust the browning control if you prefer lighter or darker waffles.
