Overnight Yeasty Goodness Waffles Recipe

If you have the time and want a super light recipe for waffles, this is a good one (assuming you know that the next day will be a lazy day). The waffles will not be greasy, but will be super light and crispy and the batter will keep better in the refrigerator. Be sure to keep your waffle iron on its hottest setting. It will recover quicker between batches. If you want waffles that will reheat better in the toaster oven, see the Regular Waffle recipe, or heck freezer waffles will work. It's the fat content that's the difference. This is less grease, but won't be quite as tasty reheated. On the other hand this batter holds better in the refrigerator. Up to you depending upon your needs.

1.  I have a small Cuisinart waffle maker. Using a ½ cup measure works without the dreaded overflow. If you are worried about overflow and making a mess, place a piece of parchment on half a baking sheet and cleanup will be a breeze. Enjoy and don't peak until the light says its ok to look.
