I have a waffle maker that often gets neglected but I realised the other day that I only have a short amount of time left in this pregnancy so NOW is the time to enjoy me some waffles! {LATE EDIT: Sorry! wrote this while I was still pregnant but it kept getting shifted down the schedule!}
The previous recipes I have tried have always been a bit so-so hence why I thought I would give yeasted waffles a go. I’m glad I did! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle, just how a waffle should be.
I think next time I will leave them in the iron for a little longer as I like them super duper crisp and these were crispy but went quite soft once you added the maple syrup.
Make sure you start this recipe the night before you want to enjoy the waffles as the batter needs to prove.
- 2 cups plain flour
- 2 tablespoons caster sugar
- 1½ teaspoons active dry yeast
- 2 cups milk (or half buttermilk half milk), lukewarm
- 75g butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- Whatever toppings you like. I used butter, maple syrup and mixed berries
- Combine the flour, sugar and yeast in a medium bowl. Whisk in the milk, butter and vanilla. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside overnight, until slightly risen and bubbly.
- In the morning, whisk in the eggs and baking soda. Cook the batter in your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Cook until dark golden if you like them crunchy like me.
