Overnight Yeast Waffles Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add sugar; let stand for 5 minutes. Add the milk, egg yolks, butter and oil (refrigerate egg whites). Combine flour and salt; stir into milk mixture. Cover and refrigerate overnight. , Let egg whites stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. In a small bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Stir batter; fold in egg whites. , For each waffle, pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls into a preheated waffle iron; bake according to manufacturer's directions until golden brown.

Steps:

• The night before, combine the water, yeast and sugar in a very large bowl (the batter will expand enormously). Allow it to stand for about 5 minutes, until the yeast dissolves and the mixture has started to foam, which tells you the yeast is active. Stir in the milk, butter, honey, vanilla and salt. Add the flour and whisk until the batter is smooth. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow it to sit overnight at a cool room temperature.
• The next morning, heat a Belgian waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and brush the top and bottom with melted butter. Beat the eggs together with the baking soda and whisk them into the batter until combined. Pour just enough of the batter onto the hot waffle iron to cover the grids (? to 1/2 cup each, depending on your waffle maker), close and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on medium heat, until the waffles are golden brown.
• Cut them apart with a small knife, if necessary, and remove them with a fork. Repeat the process until all of the batter has been used. Serve the waffles hot with sliced bananas, toasted coconut, maple syrup and creme fraiche and let everyone help themselves.
• Make-Ahead Plan
• Prepare the batter the night before. Cook the waffles up to 1 hour ahead and let sit on sheet pans at room temperature. Reheat for 10 minutes in a 350 degrees F oven, turning once.

Steps:

• The night before you want to serve the waffles, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a large bowl. Stir in the milk, then the melted butter and the vanilla if you're using it, until just combined. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside overnight at room temperature. (Of course you can do this in the morning if you want waffles for supper.)
• When you're ready to bake, brush the waffle iron lightly with oil and heat it. Stir the egg yolks into the batter. Beat the whites until they hold soft peaks, then fold them gently into the batter until it's relatively smooth.
• Spread a ladleful or so of batter onto the waffle iron and bake until the waffle is done, usually 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your iron. Serve immediately or keep warm for a few minutes in a 200°F oven. If you're making them ahead, store at room temperature in an airtight container and warm them in a 300°F oven for about 5 minutes just before serving; or freeze them in single layers, separated by sheets of parchment, and reheat in a 350°F oven for 8 to 10 minutes.
• Variation:
• Whole Grain Overnight Waffles: Replace some or all of the all-purpose flour with any whole grain flour (whole wheat, oat, quinoa, kamut, or fine cornmeal, for instance) or combination of flours.

Steps:

• Warm the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles, then remove from heat. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
• In a large bowl, combine milk, yeast mixture, butter, salt, sugar and flour. Mix thoroughly with rotary or electric mixer until batter is smooth. Cover and let stand at room temperature overnight.
• The next morning, stir beaten eggs and baking soda into the batter; beat well.
• Spray preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray. Pour mix onto hot waffle iron. Cook until golden brown.

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water.
• Add sugar and let stand for 5 minutes.
• Add the milk, egg yolks, butter and oil (refrigerate egg whites). Combine the flour and salt; stir into milk mixture.
• Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Let egg whites stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• In a small mixing bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Stir batter; fold in egg whites.
• For each waffle, pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls into a preheated waffle iron. Bake according to manufacture's directions until golden brown.

Steps:

• Before going to bed combine the dry ingredients and stir in the milk, then the cooled melted butter and vanilla (if using it).
• The mixture will be very loose.
• Cover and let it sit at room temperature overnight.
• In the morning, separate the two eggs.
• Stir the yolks into the batter.
• Beat the whites until they hold soft peaks.
• Gently stir the whites into the batter.
• Brush waffle iron with oil lightly and ladle batter on the waffle iron and bake until done (3-5 munutes).
• Serve or keep warm until all are baked.

Steps:

• Approximately 9 hours or the night before making waffles, combine warm water, honey, and yeast in a small bowl. Stir and let rest until bubbly, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Combine milk and olive oil in a large mixing bowl. Add 1 1/2 cups gluten-free flour, 1/4 cup at a time, mixing well between each addition, to create a thick but pourable batter. Add more flour if batter is too thin, 1/8 cup at a time, until a pourable batter is achieved.
• Stir yeast mixture into batter until just combined. Cover bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and leave on the kitchen counter all night; batter will double or even triple in volume, so be sure the bowl is large enough.
• When you are ready to make the waffles, add beaten egg and salt to the bowl with the batter.
• Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions. Cook about 1/4-cup batter in the preheated waffle iron until waffle is golden brown and the iron stops steaming, about 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
