Gluten Free Overnight Yeasted Waffles Food

GLUTEN-FREE OVERNIGHT YEASTED WAFFLES

Steps:

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

OVERNIGHT WAFFLES

Steps:

• The night before you want to serve the waffles, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a large bowl. Stir in the milk, then the melted butter and the vanilla if you're using it, until just combined. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside overnight at room temperature. (Of course you can do this in the morning if you want waffles for supper.)
• When you're ready to bake, brush the waffle iron lightly with oil and heat it. Stir the egg yolks into the batter. Beat the whites until they hold soft peaks, then fold them gently into the batter until it's relatively smooth.
• Spread a ladleful or so of batter onto the waffle iron and bake until the waffle is done, usually 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your iron. Serve immediately or keep warm for a few minutes in a 200°F oven. If you're making them ahead, store at room temperature in an airtight container and warm them in a 300°F oven for about 5 minutes just before serving; or freeze them in single layers, separated by sheets of parchment, and reheat in a 350°F oven for 8 to 10 minutes.
• Variation:
• Whole Grain Overnight Waffles: Replace some or all of the all-purpose flour with any whole grain flour (whole wheat, oat, quinoa, kamut, or fine cornmeal, for instance) or combination of flours.

GLUTEN-FREE WAFFLES

Steps:

• Combine the dry ingredients.
• Mix together the 1 1/2 cups milk and eggs; stir in the butter.
• Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
• Add additional milk until you get a batter a little thicker than pancake batter.
• Spread a ladleful or so of batter onto the waffle iron and bake until the waffle is done, usually 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your iron.
• (Mine whistles.) Serve immediately.
• Freeze leftovers in a plastic baggie with a sheet of wax paper in between each waffle.
• NOTE: My absolute favorite flour for waffles is"All-Purpose Celiac Flour" by Kinnikinnick (They are based in Canada. www. kinnikinnick. com) If ordering online isn't an option for you, try this flour blend: 2 cups White Rice Flour, 1 cup Potato Starch, 1/2 cup Tapioca Starch, 1-3/4 tsp Guar Gum.
• Use 2 cups for waffles.
• (I haven't tried this substitution, but based on the ingredient list on the package and with help from Bette Hagman's books, it sounds like a good bet.).
