Ingredients

How to make it

  • Use a rather large mixing bowl — the batter will rise to double its original volume.
  • Put the water in the mixing bowl and sprinkle in the yeast.
  • Let stand to dissolve for 5 minutes.
  • Add the milk, butter, salt, sugar, and flour to the yeast mixture and beat until smooth and blended. (I often use a hand rotary beater to get rid of the lumps.)
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let stand overnight at room temperature.
  • Just before cooking the waffles, beat in the eggs, add the baking soda, and stir until well mixed.
  • The batter will be very thin.
  • Pour about 1/2 to 3/4 cup batter into a very hot waffle iron.
  • Bake the waffles until they are golden and crisp.
  • This batter will keep well for several days in the refrigerator.
  • Makes approximately 8 Waffles.

    This recipe sounds wonderful. We have waffles every Sunday; I'll try these this Sunday-it'll be nice to have everything ready to go when I get up.
    Thanks for the recipe.
