Gently crisp, flavorful waffles without the hassle.

Overnight Yeasted Waffles

Makes 12 2-oz waffles

Making the batter the night before leads to a quick weekend morning breakfast with no stress.

Recipe Tips:

1. This recipe was formulated using a square 4-well Belgian waffle maker. If using a regular waffle maker, there will likely be a different final yield.

2. I like adding a portion of whole wheat flour to the batter to add a nutty flavor.

Recipe Know-how

Night Before

1.      In a medium mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast and honey into the warm water. Allow to sit 10 minutes

  •  After 10 minutes, add liquids, mixing well.

2.      In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients.

  • Pour in yeast mixture.

  • Mix until there are no dry pockets of flour left.

  • Cover bowl. Refrigerate overnight and up to 18 hours.

If the batter is refrigerated too long, it will develop a strong sourdough flavor. After 12-18 hours, this flavor is ideal. Any longer and it may be too strong.
