Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups milk or your favorite milk substitute
- 1 package dry yeast granules
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
- 2 cups Gluten Free Pantry "Favorite Sandwich Bread Mix" OR your favorite all purpose gluten-free flour mix
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons GF vanilla extract
Preparation:
- Warm milk and butter in a medium saucepan over low heat just until the butter melts.
- When milk and butter are lukewarm (105°), add dry yeast and sugar to the milk and let sit until the yeast is bubbly, about 5 minutes.
- Pour the liquid into a large container with a tight fitting lid. (I use a 1 gallon pitcher).
- Add the salt and GF flour mix and stir with a whisk until the batter is smooth.
- Cover tightly and keep at room temperature overnight (don't refrigerate).
- When you are ready to cook the waffles, preheat waffle griddle, stir in the beaten eggs, baking soda and vanilla.
- Pour about 1/2 cup of the batter on the griddle (or enough to cover the surface) and bake until golden.
- Store unused batter in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
If batter runs over in the griddle add a small amount of GF flour mix to thicken the batter (1 tablespoons at a time).
This recipe can be made using a homemade gluten free flour mix. Add 1 teaspoon xanthan gum to the batter if you use a homemade mix.
Make 6-8 waffles
