Ingredients

• 1 pinch salt
• 1 beaten egg
• 1 teaspoon light honey
• 1 cup milk, at room temperature
• 2 cups gluten-free flour, divided
• 0.25 cup warm water
• 0.25 cup light olive oil
• 0.5 tablespoon active dry yeast

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.

Step 2

Approximately 9 hours or the night before making waffles, stir together warm water, honey, and yeast in a small bowl until well combined. Let sit until bubbly, 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 3

Combine milk and olive oil in a large bowl. Add 1 1/2 cups gluten-free flour, 1/4 cup at a time, mixing well between each addition, to create a thick but pourable batter. Add more flour if batter is too thin, 1/8 cup at a time.

Step 4

Stir yeast mixture into batter until just combined. Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and leave on the kitchen counter for 8 hours to overnight; batter will double or even triple in volume, so be sure the bowl is large enough.

Step 5

When you are ready to make waffles, mix beaten egg and salt into batter in the bowl until incorporated.

Step 6

Cook about 1/4 cup batter in the preheated waffle iron until waffle is golden brown and the iron stops steaming, about 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
