Fluffy Waffles (Prepare the Night Before)

These homemade waffles are crispy and light, perfect for a delicious breakfast or snack. They need to be prepared the night before to allow the batter to rise. They’re delightful served simply with maple syrup or a savory topping.

Ingredients

• 300 g (2 cups) all-purpose unbleached flour
• 15 ml (1 tbsp) sugar
• 5 ml (1 tsp) instant yeast
• 2.5 ml (1/2 tsp) salt
• 2 eggs
• 430 ml (1 3/4 cups) warm milk
• 75 g (1/3 cup) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

1. In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
2. In another large bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the warm milk and melted butter, then incorporate the flour mixture. Stir until the batter is smooth. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours, or up to 24 hours maximum.
3. Preheat the waffle iron. Pour about 60 ml (1/4 cup) of batter into each section. Close the iron and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown. Keep warm and repeat with the remaining batter.
4. Serve with maple syrup or any sweet or savory topping.

Note from the WarriorCookBook Team

If you’re making the batter the same morning, let it rise in a warm, humid place for 1 hour, until it doubles in size. To reheat frozen waffles, place them in the oven at 150°C (300°F) for 8 to 10 minutes, or use a toaster set to medium heat for a crispier result.
