Cutman's Favorite Raised Yeast Waffles

Description: Wow, so light and crispy. This is one of my grandmothers old recipes, and being as I love waffles, I'm guessing this is the reason why! I like to eat them with a simple homemade raspberry syrup. Trust me after having Raised Yeast Waffles, you will never want waffles any other way again.....

Ingredients:

• 4 1/2 teaspoons yeast (or 2 packages)
• 4 cups warm 2% low-fat milk
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup melted butter
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 6 teaspoons sugar
• 4 cups flour
• 4 eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
• 1 tablespoon butter flavoring

Steps:

1. Combine yeast, sugar, and warm water in a large mixing bowl.
2. Let sit for about 10 minutes, so yeast can proof.
3. Add milk, butter, salt, butter flavoring, vanilla flavoring, and flour to the yeast mixture and beat until smooth.
4. Cover the bowl with Saran plastic wrap and let stand overnight, or at least 6 hours at ROOM TEMPERATURE.
5. The next morning, add the eggs and baking soda.
6. * note: batter will be thinner than regular waffle batter.
7. Place in lightly oiled waffle iron, bake until desired doneness.
8. Enjoy
9. * note: The batter will keep for a few days in the refrigerator.
