Yeast Raised Waffles

What's for dinner? Stuck in a rut? We like to have breakfast for dinner on occasion. I served these a few nights ago with hash browns, maple sausage and orange juice.

1 pkg active dry yeast

1/4 cup warm water

1 3/4 cups luke warm milk (scalded and then cooled)

2 Tbls sugar

2 tsp salt

3 eggs

1/4 cup butter, softened

2 cups all purpose flour

In a large mixer bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add reaining ingredients; beat until smooth. Cover; let rise in warm place 1 1/2 hours. Stir down batter.

Cover again; refrigerate 8-12 hours. Stir down batter.

Pour from cup or pitcher onto center of hot waffle iron. (Follow manufacturers suggestion as to greasing the waffle iron) Do not overfill iron. Bake about 5 minutes or until steam stops.

Variation: For Pecan waffles, sprinkle 1/4 cup chopped pecans (per waffle) on heated waffle grids and close iron; heat about 3 minutes or until nuts are golden brown. Pour batter over nuts and bake as directed above.

Try these with some fresh made cinnamon honey butter...
