OVERNIGHT BELGIAN WAFFLES

Categories     main-dish

Time 8h35m

Yield 10 to 12 large waffles

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup warm water (110 to 115 degrees F)
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast, at room temperature
2 teaspoons sugar
2 cups lukewarm whole milk (90 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

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.

The Best Belgian Waffles with Yeast image

These are Belgian waffles leavened with yeast that are crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside.

Provided by Elien

Categories     Breakfast

Time 6h35m

Number Of Ingredients 7

360g (1 ½ cups) whole milk, plus another 2-3 Tbsp later on
80g (5 ¾ Tablespoons) unsalted butter, cubed
250g (2 cups*) all-purpose flour
30g (2 ½ Tablespoons) sugar
2 large eggs
1 ½ tsp instant or active dried yeast
¼ tsp salt

Steps:

  • In a saucepan add 360g of the milk. Add in the butter cubes and warm it over low-medium heat until the butter has melted. Leave it to cool down to lukewarm, then pour it into a large bowl.
  • Add to this the yeast, sugar, salt, flour, and eggs and whisk them together until combined. It will be a bit lumpy and that is fine. Cover the bowl with a lid or a plate and place it in the refrigerator overnight. For faster waffles, the waffle batter can also ferment on the bench for 2 hours or until doubled, though they won't be as flavorful.
  • Once it has fermented, stir the batter with a fork to deflate it. Add in 2-3 Tbsp of milk to create a pourable cake batter consistency.
  • Heat the waffle iron. Once it is hot, pour in approximately ¼- ½ cup of batter per waffle, this will depend on the size of your waffle maker. Bake them for 3-4 minutes until deep golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve the waffles immediately to retain their crispiness.
  • The baked waffles can also be frozen for future use and reheated in the toaster.

Belgian-Style Yeast Waffles image

This classic recipe produces waffles that are wonderfully crisp outside, and creamy and moist inside. Even when cooling, they retain their wonderful texture.

Provided by King Arthur Baking Company

Categories     Brunch     Breakfast     Dessert     Waffle     Pastry     Kid-Friendly     Peanut Free     Soy Free     Tree Nut Free     Vegetarian

Yield About 4 Belgian-style 7-inch waffles

Number Of Ingredients 8

1½ cups (340g) lukewarm milk
6 tablespoons (¾ stick, 85g) unsalted butter, melted
2 to 3 tablespoons (39g to 57g) maple syrup
¾ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups (240g) unbleached all-purpose flour
1½ teaspoons instant yeast

Steps:

  • Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl, leaving room for expansion; the mixture will bubble and grow.
  • Stir to combine; it's fine if the mixture isn't perfectly smooth.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for 1 hour; the mixture will begin to bubble. You can cook the waffles at this point or refrigerate the batter overnight to cook waffles the next day.
  • Preheat your waffle iron. Spray with nonstick vegetable oil spray, and pour ⅔ to ¾ cup batter (or the amount recommended by the manufacturer) onto the center of the iron. Close the lid and bake for the recommended amount of time, until the waffle is golden brown, about 5 to 6 minutes on a standard 7" Belgian-style (deep-pocket) waffle iron.
  • Serve immediately.

Tips:

- For crispier waffles, use a waffle maker with deep pockets. - Don't overmix the batter, as this will result in tough waffles. - Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking, to allow the flavors to meld. - If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes. - For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar. - Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract to the batter for a more complex flavor. - Serve the waffles with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Overnight Belgian waffles are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. With a little planning ahead, you can have light, fluffy waffles that are perfect for a special occasion or a lazy weekend morning. Be sure to experiment with different toppings and flavors to find your favorite way to enjoy this classic recipe.
