Yeast Waffles...Best Waffles Ever!!! - water

Method

• You're going to want to use a larger mixing bowl as this is going to double in size. Pour your 1/2 C of warm water in the mixing bowl and just sprinkle the yeast over top
• Let this sit while you're heating the other liquids. This gives the yeast time to bloom and become activated. Heat your milk so that it's just warm enough to be comfortable when you put your finger in it. If it's too hot, you'll kill the yeast. Add this to your yeast and water mixture. Melt your butter and add this to the mixture as well. Add your sugar and flour and whisk it all together
• Add the salt last. If you add it too early, you'll kill the yeast
• Now wrap it tightly, and place it in a room temperature place overnight. In our house it's our laundry room
• The next morning, turn on your waffle iron and let it heat up. Whisk in the eggs and the baking soda. Once your Waffle iron is heated, pour about 5 oz of batter on the iron and let it go until your desired darkness. For me it's about 6 minutes to golden brown
• when it's done cooking, top it with whatever topping you choose! You'll notice how light and crispy these waffles are and it'll be hard to eat just one! This recipe makes about 8, 9" waffles..go ahead...have another...
