    Yeasted Waffles are old fashioned overnight waffles leavened with yeast instead of baking soda. Crispy on the outside, fluffy inside.

    Have you ever heard of Yeasted Waffles? Sometimes they are called Raised Waffles or Overnight Waffles. They are crispy on the outside and so fluffy and airy on the inside you might not go back to baking soda waffles again.

    I love being in the Our Family Table Group because it motivates me to go back and remake old recipes and update the images. Like these Yeasted Waffles.

    You need to let the batter sit in the fridge for 12- 24 hours before baking. It gives them a lovely tang and the resulting waffles are extra crisp on the outside and airy on the inside.

    I made up a big batch one morning and then froze them individually and moved them to a zip to lock bag. We can take them out individually to toast up for breakfast as needed.

    For a large family brunch you can make also make the waffles ahead of time and reheat them all in the oven at once before serving. Or have the batter and waffle iron ready for people to make their own

    Warning! The batter will double overnight in the fridge so be sure to use a bowl large enough for expansion.

    It is easy to tell when it is doubled if you use a measured bowl!
