Overnight waffles


Brendan makes these really good waffles, that have become a bit of a staple for post-training brunch type activities with CSU.  I was hosting a training, and needed the recipe so I could make waffles.  They're tasty enough that here's the recipe - I believe it's from David Lebovitz's book "How to Cook Everything", but I'm not actually sure.  The recipe isn't hard; the only hard part is remembering to get it started the night before.

Overnight Waffles
Serves 4-6

1/2 tsp instant yeast
2C flour
1 tbs sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2C milk
8 tbs melted butter
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs

Combine the dry ingredients, stir in the milk, then the butter and vanilla.  It'll be loose. Cover with plastic wrap and leave overnight at room temperature.

Grease your waffle iron, preheat it.

Separate the eggs, stir the yolks into the batter.  White the whites until they hold soft peaks.  Stir them gently into the batter.

Spread a ladleful or so of batter into the waffle iron, cook for 3-5min, and serve immediately. Preferably with lots of berries! And maybe maple syrup.  Most delicious.
