I’ve made these once before on a whim after work. I made them because a local restaurant, Soco
had them on their menu. Before I went
there and paid money for something that may not taste well, I decided to try it
myself. While other recipes called for using
cake batter or no yeast, I ended up doing my own “thang”. I find when you make something your own, it comes out better. So, if you do end up making this, tweak it to your liking & let me know how it turns out. Last time the waffles came out well,
so I decided to make them again for breakfast this Sunday morning. I also ended up making some Maple Cream
Cheese Butter, too!

Directions
- Combine all dry ingredients into one bowl, and mix.
- Mix red food coloring and vinegar.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1-cup buttermilk, eggs, melted
butter and vanilla. Add red food
coloring/vinegar mix, and whisk together.
Add this mixture to the dry ingredients, and mix. Then add yeast, and mix. - Cover with plastic wrap, and let rest at room temperature
for 30 minutes; the mixture will begin to bubble. You can cook the waffles at
this point, or refrigerate the batter overnight to cook waffles the next day. - Preheat your waffle iron. Spray with non-stick vegetable oil
spray, and pour 2/3 to 3/4 cup batter (or the amount recommended by the
manufacturer) onto the center of the iron. Close the lid and bake for the
recommended amount of time. - Serve immediately, or keep warm in a 200°F oven.
Tip: If you like your
waffles crispy, use ¼ cup of cornstarch
& ¾ cups flour.
