Yeast waffles come out a little flaky and slightly chewy,
much like drop biscuits. Some people prefer these because no eggs
are needed for the batter.
Yeast Waffles
Feeds 6
You will need:
-
A waffle iron (American or German cup or shaped irons are best for these)
-
3 cups of flour
-
1 tablespoon dry active yeast
-
1/2 tsp. baking soda (also called drinking soda or sodium bicarbonate)
-
1 tsp salt
-
1/4 cup sugar
-
1/2 cup shortenning, softenned butter, lard, or vegetable oil
-
1 and 1/2 to 2 cups of lukewarm water...maybe a little more.
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
(optional) 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp allspice (English pepper), and 1/2 tsp
ginger
Directions:
-
Put the dry ingredients including the yeast in a bowl, and aerate them
with a mixer or a wire whisk.
-
Cut in the shortenning or oil with a fork or two knives or a pastry cutter,
until the mixture looks like a coarse meal.
-
Gradually stir in the water until it becomes an only slightly lumpy, wet
batter.
-
Let this set for about 15 minutes in a somewhat warm place.
-
Check the batter again to make sure that it's not too solid to pour.
If it is, mix in a little more water until it is liquid again.
-
Let it set for another 15 minutes.
-
Heat your waffle iron.
-
Grease your iron and pour the waffles so that it covers all but about the
outermost 3 cm. because they will rise.
-
When they're golden brown, take them out.
