Make-Ahead Waffle Batter

Ingredients

• 0.3 ounce active yeast dry
• 0.3 teaspoon baking soda 
• 0.5 cup butter melted
• 2 large eggs 
• 2 cups flour all-purpose
• 2 cups warm milk (105° to 115°)
• 1 teaspoon salt 
• 1 teaspoon sugar 
• 0.5 cup warm water (105° to 115°)

Equipment

• whisk
• mixing bowl
• measuring cup
• waffle iron

Directions

1. Combine yeast and 1/2 cup water in a glass measuring cup; let stand 5 minutes.
2. Combine yeast mixture, milk, and next 3 ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
3. Add flour, stirring until smooth. Cover and chill 8 hours.
4. Whisk in eggs and baking soda.Prepare in a waffle iron according to manufacturers directions. I used my little Cuisinart and made each waffle with approximately 1/3 cup of batter. It’s thin, so if you’re using a small waffle iron, pour it on slowly. Makes about 12 waffles (but varies, depending on size of waffle maker).
