Ingredientai

2-1/4 teaspoons (79) active dry yeast

1 tablespoon sugar

1/2 cup (120g) warm water

2 cups (485g) whole milk

8 tablespoons (4 ounces/1 14g) unsalted butter or Ghee, melted, plus more for cooking

Nurodymai

In a large bowl, whisk together the yeast, sugar, and water. Set aside until foamy, about 5 minutes.

Add the milk, unsalted butter or ghee, and salt and whisk until combined. Finally, add the flour and whisk until smooth. Cover and refrigerate overnight (unless your kitchen is temperate, in which case you can leave the bowl on the counter).

To cook the waffles, set a sheet pan with a wire rack in the oven and preheat to 200°F. Heat a waffle iron.

Whisk the eggs and baking soda into the batter. Brush the waffle iron with melted butter, then pour 1/4 cup batter onto each section of the iron. Let the batter set for 15 seconds or so, then close the lid. Cook at the highest setting, flipping as needed according to the manufacturer's instructions, until crisp, golden, airy, and emitting a yeasty aroma, 4 to 5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter. Keep prepared waffles warm in the oven.

Serve with salted butter and warm maple syrup or apricot jam. Store leftover waffles in an airtight bag in the freezer and toast to reheat.

VARIATIONS

To make Amy's Bacon Waffles, pour batter into the hot iron and let it set for about 30 seconds before adding 1 or 2 strips of crisp-cooked bacon.

To make crisp, nutty Buckwheat Waffles, reduce the amount of all-purpose flour in the batter to 1-1/3 cups (180 grams) and add 2/3 cup (90 grams) buckwheat flour.
