Good Night Waffles

The night before, or at least 8 hours before baking, combine the warm water, granulated sugar, and yeast. Let stand for 10 minutes, until foamy. Stir in the warm milk, melted butter, and salt. Beat in the flour until smooth. Wrap bowl with plastic wrap and let stand overnight or for 8 hours on counter top, do not refrigerate.

When ready to bake, preheat your waffle maker to your preferred setting. For best results, do not open waffle maker during cooking. Doing so will offset the timing mechanism.

While the waffle maker is heating, stir the eggs, vanilla and baking soda into the batter. Use measuring scoop to measure out batter. Pour onto waffle grids. Use a heat-proof spatula to spread the batter evenly over the grids. Close cover and rotated 180 degrees to the right. Bake in the hot waffle maker until beeper sounds. Rotate 180 degrees to the left. Remove waffle and repeat with remaining batter. Waffles may be kept warm in am ovrn.(200 degree) Place waffles arranged on a cookie sheet on a rack in the oven. Serve with fresh sliced fruit, jam, powdered sugar, a warm fruit syrup, or whipped cream.
