OVERNIGHT BELGIAN WAFFLES



Overnight Belgian Waffles image

I've always loved those big, thick, crisp waffles that you buy from street carts in Brussels. I tried to make them for years, but sadly, mine always came out thin and soggy. I finally decided to tackle the problem, and I came up with these delicious yeasty Belgian waffles. You make them almost entirely the night before, so all you have to do in the morning is stir in some eggs and heat up the waffle iron. (You'll need a special Belgian waffle maker, but these are so good, they're worth having the extra piece of equipment around.) Because this batter rises overnight, the waffles are incredibly light and flavorful. I like to serve them piled high with sliced bananas, sprinkled with toasted coconut and drizzled with warm maple syrup.

Time 8h40m

Yield 10 to 12 large waffles

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups lukewarm whole milk (90 degrees F to 100 degrees F)
1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted, plus extra for the waffle iron
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 extra-large eggs
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Sliced bananas, toasted coconut, warm maple syrup and creme fraiche, for serving
1/2 cup warm water (110 degrees F to 115 degrees F)
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast, at room temperature
2 teaspoons sugar

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.

WAFFLES

Waffles are surprisingly tricky. You want to get that balance of a crispy outside and a light-and-fluffy inside. My obsession with buttermilk comes from the fact that it provides a softer texture in any baked good, and the whipped egg white helps to achieve the fluffy factor essential to a good waffle. I opt for waffles when I want something syrupy and comforting but maybe not as heavy as a pancake. Waffles are also fun to use as bread for breakfast sandwiches.

Time 30m

Yield 4 waffles

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 cup buttermilk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus extra for serving
1 egg white
Nonstick cooking spray
Maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt until thoroughly combined, then make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and set aside.
  • Pour the buttermilk into a small bowl and set aside.
  • In a separate small bowl, beat the egg, then whisk in the melted butter. Add the egg mixture to the buttermilk and whisk until combined.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the egg white until it's frothy and lightly whipped (it should look like beer foam) and set aside.
  • Pour the buttermilk mixture into the well in the dry ingredients and stir until there are no streaks of dry flour left, but the batter is still lumpy. Add the egg white and gently mix until combined.
  • Turn on a waffle maker and coat the plates with nonstick spray. Cook the batter according to the manufacturer's instructions, keeping in mind that you may need to cook the waffles longer than the instructions indicate. The waffles should be crispy and golden brown and should not still feel wet inside when poked. They should have some spring to them. Transfer the waffles to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, making sure to spray the waffle iron with nonstick spray between batches.
  • Serve warm with butter and maple syrup.

OVERNIGHT WAFFLES

This waffle recipe from Mark Bittman's How to Bake Everything requires an overnight rise from yeast, resulting in the most flavorful breakfast pastry possible.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     Waffle     Breakfast     Brunch     Pastry

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups flour
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons instant yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups milk, lukewarm
1 stick butter, melted and cooled
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Neutral oil (like grapeseed or corn) for cooking
2 eggs, separated

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.

SIMPLE YEASTED WAFFLES



Simple Yeasted Waffles image

Yeast-risen waffles have a lovely, complex tang that works beautifully with whatever sweet topping you apply - honey, maple syrup, fruit jam. You can make the batter the night before and let it rise in the refrigerator until breakfast time. Or, it will rise at room temperature in a couple of hours, which makes these waffles a good choice for brunch. Like all waffles, these freeze well. Once they cool, pack them in a heavy-duty freezer bag and store in the freezer. Then pop them, still frozen, in a toaster to reheat. Toasted waffles are even crisper than freshly made ones, and make a quick and convenient weekday breakfast.

Time 1h

Yield 8 to 10 waffles

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/4 cups milk
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, cut into cubes, plus more for the waffle iron
15 grams sugar (1 tablespoon)
5 grams salt (1 teaspoon)
1 package active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
240 grams all-purpose flour (2 cups)
90 grams whole wheat flour (3/4 cup), or use all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • In a small pot over medium heat, combine milk and butter until melted and hot but not simmering. Stir in sugar and salt; remove from heat and let cool to lukewarm.
  • In a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup warm water and yeast. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
  • Add warm milk mixture to yeast and stir. Whisk in flours. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand until doubled in volume, 2 to 3 hours at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Heat waffle iron. Whisk eggs and baking soda into waffle batter. Using a pastry brush or paper towel, lightly coat iron with melted butter. Cook waffles (using about 1/2 cup batter per waffle) until golden and crisp. Butter the iron in between batches as needed. Serve waffles immediately as they are ready, or keep them warm in a 200-degree oven until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Use good quality ingredients for the best waffles. Fresh buttermilk, eggs, and butter will make a big difference in the taste and texture of your waffles.
  • Make sure your waffle iron is hot before you start cooking. This will help the waffles cook evenly and prevent them from sticking.
  • Don't overfill the waffle iron. This will make the waffles too thick and dense.
  • Cook the waffles until they are golden brown and crispy. This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a delicious flavor.
  • Serve the waffles immediately with your favorite toppings. Butter, syrup, fruit, and whipped cream are all popular choices.

Conclusion:

Overnight yeast waffles are a delicious and easy breakfast option that can be made ahead of time. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have light, fluffy waffles that are perfect for a weekend brunch or a weekday breakfast on the go. Just remember to follow the tips above for the best results. Enjoy!
