Waffles: Fannie Farmer's Raised Waffles

Source of Recipe

Colonial Capital B&B, Williamsburg, VA


List of Ingredients

1/2 cup warm water
1 package dry yeast
2 cups warm milk
1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon Aspen Mulling Spices
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 teaspoon baking soda



Recipe

Day 1: Into a large bowl (this recipe will rise to twice its ingredient size), add the water and dry yeast (sprinkle in from the packet). Let stand for 5 minutes. Add warm melted butter, salt, sugar, and mulling spices. Sift flour into mixture and beat until smooth - no lumps (hand rotary beater or whisk). Cover with plastic wrap and let stand overnight at room temperature.

Day 2: Preheat waffle iron(s) and then blend eggs and baking soda into mixture and stir until well mixed. Batter should be very thin. Cook and serve immediately with syrups and meat of your choice. We use fresh sausage.
