First of all, for all who have been wondering about the mystery item mentioned yesterday in The Pantry Game, we had one correct guess Miracle Whip! Amazing what is in a commercial jar of mayonnaise.
Today’s recipe is another family favorite. If you haven’t tried overnight waffles you’ve been missing an awesome treat! I love this simple recipe; you mix up the majority of the ingredients the night before. In the morning you add the butter and an egg and the mix is ready to be turned into delicious waffles. What better excuse to enjoy maple syrup. I enjoy using this recipe when we have company. It makes for a delicious, easy breakfast in the morning without much effort on your part.
Amazing Overnight Waffles
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp yeast
1 Tbsp sugar
½ tsp salt
2 cups milk
6 Tbsp butter, melted
1 large egg
Nonstick spray
Butter for the waffle iron (op)
Waffle iron
Combine the flour, yeast, sugar and salt in a medium size bowl.
Add the milk and whisk until blended.
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let stand overnight at room temperature.
In the morning the batter will have all sorts of bubbles on the surface.
Preheat the waffle iron and melt the butter. Beat the egg in a small separate bowl and beat it into the batter along with the melted butter. The batter will be quite thin.
Lightly spray the hot waffle iron on all surfaces with the nonstick spray and rub on a little butter. Add just enough batter to cover the cooking surface. Cook for two to three minutes, depending on your waffle iron. Do not over bake, as you want it crisp and brown, but not too dark.
Serve with your favorite toppings. Recipe can be easily doubled or tripled!
Serves three to four. These waffles also freeze well. Any leftover waffles I let cool on a baking rack and then wrap and place in the freezer.
Perfect to pop in the toaster on a busy morning!

Those look so much better then the whole grain toast I just had. Thanks for sharing.
They are truly amazing and I’m sure you could add a little whole wheat flour to make them healthier!
I make these too. I found the recipe years ago in the “Fanny Farmer Breakfast Book” by Marion Cunningham. (Great book. If you haven’t had a chance to, you should check it out.
You’re quite right: These waffles are delicious.
I love the Fanny Farmer Breakfast Book! Funny as I found this recipe in the newspaper years ago and never connected it to the Breakfast Book!
Those looks fantastic!

Miz Helen, Do try these waffles they are so good! Have a great week!
These look great! And freezing them is so smart, too. Thanks for sharing at Must Try Monday.
It’s wonderful you can make these delicious waffles in advance and freeze them, so much better than store bought! It’s an interesting technique leaving them out overnight as well.
Yum Yum!!! I just found your blog on foodie friday. I’ll host a party every month with a different theme and would love you to join! Please visit my blog for more information on “My Sweet Party” post uploaded 2nd of May.
