Waffles!

Daniel has discovered how nicely frozen homemade waffles reheat in the toaster. I spent the morning stocking the freezer with breakfast for a couple weeks for him. This is my favorite raised waffle recipe. It’s light and crispy on the outside and meltingly tender inside.

1 cup warm water
4 cups warm milk
1 cup melted unsalted butter
2 teaspoons salt
heaping tablespoon honey
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 packages acive dry yeast

the next morning add:
4 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

In a very large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients (except baking soda), then stir in the liquids and cover tightly with cling film. Let stand at room temperature overnight. In the morning beat in the eggs and baking soda and cook according to your waffle iron directions. I find it does not usually need cooking spray. My waffle iron makes crispy waffles in 7 minutes.
