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.

OVERNIGHT WAFFLES



Overnight Waffles image

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.

When ready to cook, stir the eggs, vanilla extract and baking soda into the batter.

Tips:

  • Choose the right waffle maker. A good waffle maker will evenly cook the waffles and produce a crispy exterior and fluffy interior.
  • Use fresh ingredients. Fresh ingredients will give your waffles the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the waffles tough.
  • Let the batter rest. Letting the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking will allow the gluten to relax and produce a more tender waffle.
  • Cook the waffles until they are golden brown. Overcooking the waffles will make them dry and tough.
  • Serve the waffles immediately. Waffles are best served hot and fresh out of the waffle maker.
