Aunt Lynns Best Ever Waffles Recipes

OVERNIGHT BELGIAN WAFFLES

Steps:

• The night before, combine the water, yeast and sugar in a very large bowl (the batter will expand enormously). Allow it to stand for about 5 minutes, until the yeast dissolves and the mixture has started to foam, which tells you the yeast is active. Stir in the milk, butter, honey, vanilla and salt. Add the flour and whisk until the batter is smooth. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow it to sit overnight at a cool room temperature.
• The next morning, heat a Belgian waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and brush the top and bottom with melted butter. Beat the eggs together with the baking soda and whisk them into the batter until combined. Pour just enough of the batter onto the hot waffle iron to cover the grids (? to 1/2 cup each, depending on your waffle maker), close and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on medium heat, until the waffles are golden brown.
• Cut them apart with a small knife, if necessary, and remove them with a fork. Repeat the process until all of the batter has been used. Serve the waffles hot with sliced bananas, toasted coconut, maple syrup and creme fraiche and let everyone help themselves.
• Make-Ahead Plan
• Prepare the batter the night before. Cook the waffles up to 1 hour ahead and let sit on sheet pans at room temperature. Reheat for 10 minutes in a 350 degrees F oven, turning once.

THE BEST BUTTERMILK WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs and vanilla. Whisk the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture until a batter is formed. Whisk in the butter until incorporated, being careful not to overmix the batter.
• Spray both sides of the preheated waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray. Pour in enough batter to lightly cover the surface of the iron, about 1/3 to 3/4 cup, depending on its size. (Take into consideration that the batter will spread once the lid is closed.) Close the iron and cook until the waffles are a deep golden brown and slightly crisp, about 5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter. (If the waffle iron has a well-seasoned or nonstick surface, it may not be necessary to spray it between each batch.)
• Serve the waffles immediately with butter, syrup, jam, berries or yogurt.

AUNT GUN-MARIE'S WAFFLES

Steps:

• Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl. Stir egg yolks and vanilla extract into flour mixture. Mix milk, alternating with butter in 3 to 4 additions, into flour mixture until batter is smooth.
• Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form soft mounds. Gently fold egg whites into batter; let rest 10 to 15 minutes.
• Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Spoon batter into the waffle iron and cook according to manufacturer's instructions.

PRECIOUS AUNT LILL'S PIZZALE WAFFLES

Steps:

• Instructions: Pre-heat Pizzalle iron as instructions for iron dictate.
• Beat together eggs until lemon colored and gradually add sugar. Add cooled margarine, flavoring, and brown sugar. Beat together until smooth. Gradually add flour, a little at a time. Batter will thicken, so if necessary, finish mixing by hand until batter is thoroughly mixed.
• Spray pre-heated iron with cooking spray. Place your iron on top of several layers of newspaper to catch the drippings as they cook. Drop 1 tablespoon of batter in center of waffle maker (the Teflon one with patterned plates is preferred). Using a potholder, hold cover of iron down for 1 to 2 minutes or until waffle is golden brown. Trim excess batter off the plates with a butter knife or soft spatula if batter oozes out the sides while they are cooking. This keeps clean-up to a minimum later on. Don't burn them! If top of iron sticks to batter when lifting, hold it down a few more seconds. When cooked properly, they should just have a slightly golden glow. Remove them with a fork, place on a flat surface and immediately while still hot trim the rough edges off with a sharp knife so they end up in a circular shape. Care for the iron like you would any teflon surface - don't scratch it.
• Cool waffles on flat surface, side by side -don't stack while hot or they'll get soggy. When completely cooled, sprinkle powdered sugar on them and serve on a pretty plate.
• These are delicious and they make wonderful edible gifts at holiday time or to bring to parties. You may also use the broken ones as mix-ins for ice cream, or may serve strawberries and coolwhip on top of them. They are best stored in a big tin with a well fitting lid. If you store them in plastic ware, they will get soggy.
