Overnight Waffles Recipes

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water.
• Add sugar and let stand for 5 minutes.
• Add the milk, egg yolks, butter and oil (refrigerate egg whites). Combine the flour and salt; stir into milk mixture.
• Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Let egg whites stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• In a small mixing bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Stir batter; fold in egg whites.
• For each waffle, pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls into a preheated waffle iron. Bake according to manufacture's directions until golden brown.

Steps:

• Before going to bed combine the dry ingredients and stir in the milk, then the cooled melted butter and vanilla (if using it).
• The mixture will be very loose.
• Cover and let it sit at room temperature overnight.
• In the morning, separate the two eggs.
• Stir the yolks into the batter.
• Beat the whites until they hold soft peaks.
• Gently stir the whites into the batter.
• Brush waffle iron with oil lightly and ladle batter on the waffle iron and bake until done (3-5 munutes).
• Serve or keep warm until all are baked.

Steps:

• The night before, combine the water, yeast and sugar in a very large bowl (the batter will expand enormously). Allow it to stand for about 5 minutes, until the yeast dissolves and the mixture has started to foam, which tells you the yeast is active. Stir in the milk, butter, honey, vanilla and salt. Add the flour and whisk until the batter is smooth. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow it to sit overnight at a cool room temperature.
• The next morning, heat a Belgian waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and brush the top and bottom with melted butter. Beat the eggs together with the baking soda and whisk them into the batter until combined. Pour just enough of the batter onto the hot waffle iron to cover the grids (? to 1/2 cup each, depending on your waffle maker), close and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on medium heat, until the waffles are golden brown.
• Cut them apart with a small knife, if necessary, and remove them with a fork. Repeat the process until all of the batter has been used. Serve the waffles hot with sliced bananas, toasted coconut, maple syrup and creme fraiche and let everyone help themselves.
• Make-Ahead Plan
• Prepare the batter the night before. Cook the waffles up to 1 hour ahead and let sit on sheet pans at room temperature. Reheat for 10 minutes in a 350 degrees F oven, turning once.

Steps:

• The night before, combine the water, yeast, and sugar in a very large bowl (the batter will expand enormously). Allow it to stand for about 5 minutes, until the yeast dissolves and the mixture has started to foam, which tells you the yeast is active. Stir in the milk, butter, honey, vanilla, and salt. Add the flour and whisk until the batter is smooth. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow it to sit overnight at a cool room temperature.
• The next morning, heat a Belgian waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and brush the top and bottom with melted butter. Beat the eggs together with the baking soda and whisk them into the batter until combined. Pour just enough of the batter onto the hot waffle iron to cover the grids (1/3 to 1/2 cup each, depending on your waffle maker), close, and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on medium heat, until the waffles are golden brown. Cut them apart with a small knife, if necessary, and remove them with a fork. Repeat the process until all the batter has been used. Serve the waffles hot with sliced bananas, toasted coconut, maple syrup, and creme fraiche and let everyone help themselves.

Steps:

• Mix yeast with 1 cup of the flour.
• Whisk in the lukewarm water and beer and let sit for about 10-15 minutes until frothy.
• Meanwile, beat together the eggs, sugar, salt until well combined.
• In yet another bowl, mix together the melted butter, oil, and vanilla.
• Combine all three mixtures, as well as the remaining flour, and beat for 2 minutes.
• Cover and chill overnight, or at least 4 hours.
• Heat up your waffle iron according to manufacturer's directions, greasing if needed.
• Stir the batter to remix the ingredients.
• Ladle batter ontp the hot waffle iron and cook waffles until steaming stops or according to the manufacturer's directions.

Steps:

• Combine oats and buttermilk in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight. - One morning, when I forgot to soak my oats the night before, I soaked them for 1 1/2 hours and the waffles came out fine.
• When ready to prepare waffles, stir melted butter and slightly beaten eggs into soaked oats and buttermilk. In a separate bowl wisk together remaining dry ingredients. Add dry ingredients to oat mixture and stir till just blended. Batter will be thick.
• Cook in waffle iron according to manufactures directions. You may want to cook slightly longer than usual to crisp up a bit. I spread 1 cup oat batter into my hot waffle iron, and cook for 5 minutes.

Steps:

• The night before you want to serve the waffles, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a large bowl. Stir in the milk, then the melted butter and the vanilla if you're using it, until just combined. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside overnight at room temperature. (Of course you can do this in the morning if you want waffles for supper.)
• When you're ready to bake, brush the waffle iron lightly with oil and heat it. Stir the egg yolks into the batter. Beat the whites until they hold soft peaks, then fold them gently into the batter until it's relatively smooth.
• Spread a ladleful or so of batter onto the waffle iron and bake until the waffle is done, usually 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your iron. Serve immediately or keep warm for a few minutes in a 200°F oven. If you're making them ahead, store at room temperature in an airtight container and warm them in a 300°F oven for about 5 minutes just before serving; or freeze them in single layers, separated by sheets of parchment, and reheat in a 350°F oven for 8 to 10 minutes.
• Variation:
• Whole Grain Overnight Waffles: Replace some or all of the all-purpose flour with any whole grain flour (whole wheat, oat, quinoa, kamut, or fine cornmeal, for instance) or combination of flours.
