Yeast Waffles: In a bowl, whisk together the
flour, yeast, baking soda, salt, and sugar. In a separate large bowl whisk together the
eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the egg mixture
to the flour mixture, and stir (or whisk) just until combined and smooth.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator overnight. (The batter
will keep in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.)
Next morning, preheat your waffle machine. Then,
depending on your machine's
instructions, you may need to lightly grease (with a flavorless oil) or spray the grids with a non stick vegetable
spray.
Spoon or pour about 1/2 cup (120 ml) of batter (or amount that is recommended in your
waffle iron's instruction book) onto one side of the hot waffle iron. Take
the back of a spoon, or small heatproof offset spatula, and smooth out the batter. Close the lid of
your waffle machine and bake until brown and crisp (about 5-7 minutes). It is best to serve the waffles
immediately. If not, place the waffles (directly on the oven rack) in a 200
degrees F (95 degrees C) oven for up to 30 minutes. Waffles can also be frozen.
To freeze, once
the waffles have completely cooled, wrap in plastic wrap, and place in an
airtight freezer bag. They can be stored in the freezer for about a month. To
reheat, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Place the still frozen
waffles directly on your oven rack and bake for about 5-10 minutes, or just
until they are heated through. Alternatively, you can place the frozen waffles in your
toaster and heat.
Waffles are delicious when served
with butter and maple syrup or honey, jam, or fruit sauces (blueberry,
strawberry, or raspberry). They are also very good
when served as a dessert with fresh berries and whipped cream.
Makes about 8 -
4 1/2 inch (10 cm) square Belgain waffles.
