Ingredients:

  • 3 cups white flour
  • 1 package dry yeast (1/4 oz. or 2.25 tsp., depending on your system of measuring)
  • 2 1/2 cups lukewarm water
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp oil or 2 tbsp milk (i like milk)
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • nonstick cooking spray
  • butter or margarine (for serving)
  • syrup (for serving)

Directions:

  1. The night before you want your waffles, mix the flour, yeast, and lukewarm water.
  2. Put in tall bowl, as it will rise quite a bit.
  3. Cover with towel and let sit in room temperature overnight.
  4. In the morning, uncover and stir.
  5. Don't be put off by the texture. It is supposed to look weird. Really.
  6. Add the eggs and oil/milk, enough to make it thin enough to use.
  7. It might be a little tough to make it all mix together, because it tends to be a bit sticky, but keep at it.
  8. Usually helps if you've mixed the eggs a little in a separate bowl, so you're not dealing with a whole yolk.
  9. In small, separate bowl combine baking soda and sugar. Mix until no lumps.
  10. Add to soda & sugar mixture to bowl with waffle dough.
  11. Stir until mixed in.
  12. Let sit about fifteen minutes. (A good time to start preheating your waffle iron.)
  13. Spray waffle iron with cooking spray. You'll need to repeat this occasionally as the spray wears off.
  14. Experiment with amounts of waffle dough to put in the iron and times. For us, we use a ladle and cook each waffle for 3-5 minutes. Those sizes and times work perfectly for us, but I'm sure waffle irons vary in size and cooking times.
  15. You can get creative with adding other ingredients. I haven't tried any of these yet, but I've heard adding crumbled bacon, blueberries, grated apples, etc. to the mix before making the waffles works well.
  16. For us, the recipe usually yields 8-9 waffles, enough for 3-4 people. It might differ for your waffle iron.
