ingredients

1/2 cup lukewarm (105 degrees F) water
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 cups whole milk, warmed (about 105 degrees F)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon baking soda

directions

The night before, or at least 8 hours before baking, combine the warm water, granulated sugar and yeast. Let stand 10 minutes, until foamy. Stir in the warm milk, melted butter and salt. Beat in the flour until smooth; (this may be done using a hand mixer on low speed).

Wrap bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let stand overnight (or for 8 hours) on the counter top - do not refrigerate.

When ready to bake, preheat your Waring Pro Belgium Waffle Maker on setting # 4 or preferred setting; (green indicator light will be illuminated when preheated)

For best results, do not open waffle maker during cooking process. Doing so will offset the timing mechanism.

While the waffle maker is heating, stir the eggs, vanilla extract and baking soda into the batter. Use measuring scoop to measure out batter. Pour onto waffle grids. Use a heat-proof spatula to spread the batter evenly over the grids. Close cover and rotate 180 degrees to the right.

Bake in the hot waffle maker until beeper sounds. Rotate 180 degrees to the left. Remove waffle and repeat with remaining batter. Waffles may be kept warm in a slow (200 degrees F) oven. Place waffles arranged on a cookie sheet on a rack in the oven. Serve with sliced fresh fruit, jam, powder sugar, a warm fruit syrup, yogurt, or whipped cream.

cook's notes

I was scouring the net trying to find the recipe for my Waring Belgium Waffle Maker with no luck. Well, I finally found my owners manual and thought I'd share this recipe with everyone.

This makes a nice light tasty waffle without that funny raw taste and stick in your throat texture I get with other recipes.

Most of the mixing for these waffles is done the night before. In the morning, just mix in the eggs, vanilla extract and a pinch of baking soda while the waffle make is heating. Leftover batter may be covered and kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Heat your waffle maker in the morning, stir the batter and have a freshly baked waffle for breakfast.

Thank you so much for posting this recipe. I have also lost my book that came with my waffle maker and love this simple recipe. Lately, I have been making Liege waffles when i have lots of time and for special occasions. They are the authentic ones with Belgian pearl sugar. These are so amazing, but take forever to prepare. This recipe is yummy and takes a fraction of the time to make.

This recipe has made me famous. I own two double machines and make enough waffles to sink a ship. I have made hundreds at a time for my students, and several dozen at a time for big family reunion trips. They are the best waffles I have ever tasted.

My personal favorite is to cover these waffles with a warm, homemade strawberry syrup and whipped cream. Not sure if I'm eating breakfast or dessert!

Requires planning ahead since you have to let it stand for 8 hours but this recipe makes great waffles so I highly recommend it.

My mother used to make an overnight waffle batter and it was always so good. I had pretty good results with this one. I think they need just a little more sugar though.

These are wonderful. Do not try to half the recipe - I have tried a few times and it just doesn't seem to come out as well for me.

I was kind of scared to use a recipe with yeast in the batter, but they turned out GREAT!!! This is now my new favorite waffle recipe. So light and fluffy and taste wonderful. Can even eat them without anything on top. AWESOME

Thank you so much for this recipe. I lost my book to my waring pro waffle and I loved that recipe. Now I want to make them for in the morning and I don't have the yeast. Darn!!! These are the best waffles anyone could make.

A friend of mine at work gave me a Waring Pro Belgium Waffle maker yesterday. I couldn't wait to come home and find a recipe that would work well. I must say, this recipe was not only easy to follow, but absolutely perfect to make!! They were restaurant delicious!! I read some of the comments from other members, I think I know what may have happened to their recipe. It is VERY important to wait the required time first with the yeast(10 min) and then when setting the batter overnight. If this isn't done, I imagine the recipe will fail. My waffles were not only light and crisp, but very tasty!!I would recommend this recipe to anyone that has the patients to wait for a WAFFLE!!

Everlasting thanks to rec.food.recipes zerfas! I too have the Waring Pro Waffle Maker but have misplaced the recipe. You really saved me and my drooling guests! My father-in-law and I make these waffles every Sunday at the cottage for our family and everyone loves them! I wonder if using a different waffle maker (that doesn't flip) affects the success of this recipe. Thanks again!

These waffles are wonderful--very crispy and delicious. Everyone in my family loves them. For those who think they are too yeasty, go ahead and reduce the yeast but remember yeast is a living organism so it's not just how much you put in but how long you let it sit. The longer it sits, the more the yeast multiply. However, I don't understand what "too yeasty" means because with all yeasted foods and especially bread, the yeast gives a great flavor and the goal is to slow the rising and enhance the taste of the final product. The alcoholic smell in the batter in the morning is an example of just that.By the way, I recommend instant yeast because you can substitute 1 for 1 with active dry, but with instant yeast there is no need to proof it. You can just combine all ingredients at once.

Terrible! The waffles tasted like yeast. I was very disappointed because they were easy to make but unfortunately, they were awful tasting.

Without a doubt the best waffles I have ever made. My overnight company always asks for them and they are so easy because all the mixing is done the night before!

I also have the waring waffle maker, but my husband and I were very disappointed with this recipe. The waffles tasted like yeast, were not sweet at all, and the texture was wrong.

This is my family's favorite waffle recipe! It always turns out great (make sure your yeast is fresh) and the waffles are as good as or better than restaurant served!
