Gluten-Free Overnight Yeasted Waffles

Gluten-free waffles with a delicate yeast flavor get a crispy and crunchy outside, but are melt-in-your-mouth soft on the inside. They freeze quite well, too. These waffles work with sweet or savory toppings.

Ingredients

• 1 pinch salt
• ¼ cup warm water
• ¼ cup light olive oil
• ½ tablespoon active dry yeast
• 1 beaten egg
• 1 teaspoon light honey
• 1 cup milk, at room temperature
• 2 cups gluten-free flour, divided

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Approximately 9 hours or the night before making waffles, combine warm water, honey, and yeast in a small bowl. Stir and let rest until bubbly, 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 2

Combine milk and olive oil in a large mixing 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, until a pourable batter is achieved.

Step 3

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

Step 4

When you are ready to make the waffles, add beaten egg and salt to the bowl with the batter.

Step 5

Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions. 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.
