Description

This recipe for yeasted Belgian waffles produces homemade waffles that are perfectly fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside!  The secret?   Mix the ingredients the day before and let the waffle batter rest in the fridge overnight.  In the morning, give the batter a quick stir and pour!  Enjoy the waffles for breakfast or a fabulous brunch with friends! 


Ingredients

Scale

2 1/2 cups flour

2 1/2 tsp yeast

3 tsp sugar

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp baking soda

2 1/2 cups warm Buttermilk

1/2 cup butter

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1/4 tsp cinnamon


Instructions

Put the dry ingredients in large bowl and use a whisk to break up any lumps. Warm your buttermilk and butter in a saucepan to 100 degrees (the perfect temperature to bloom yeast) add sugar and sprinkle yeast over top.  Let it bloom for 5 minutes.  If your yeast is active, it should start to bubble and have a very distinct yeast smell.

Mix your milk into your dry ingredients and add eggs, cinnamon and vanilla and whisk well to combine.  Let the mixture sit overnight. 

Pour your batter into a non-stick heated waffle iron and let cook until you have a nice golden outside and soft inside.  Top with berries and a little whip cream.  

Enjoy!
