Make ahead Waffles -from Carol Rinehart

2 cups milk
1 package active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon white sugar
3 cups sifted unbleached all-purpose flour
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon baking soda


DIRECTIONS – Up to 8 hours before serving or night before serving
1 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.
2 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.
3 The next morning, stir beaten eggs and baking soda into the batter; beat well.
4 Spray preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray. Pour mix onto hot waffle iron. Cook until golden brown.

Re: Make ahead Waffles

This sounds really good! Do they come out light? I've tried making waffles and they always come out thick and spongy. I would love to be able to make a waffle that's light and somewhat crispy. I know that if they are put on the rack in the oven as they're being made that helps with the crispiness.

I have a Belgium Waffle maker that I use and this recipe makes a waffle just like what you want...light and crispy.
