Raised Waffles

I don't want to lose this recipe. It is nice recipe when you have company. It will look like you have fussed but it really takes a little bit of time the night before. I usually get it ready as I am cleaning up the supper dishes. I can't decide if they taste more like sour dough or fresh bread. I think it is somewhere in between.

Raised Waffles
1 package active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
1 1/4 cups warm milk, scalded then cooled
2 Tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
1/4 cup butter, softened
2 cups flour
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Add the remaining ingredients. Beat well - until smooth. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours. Stir down batter. Cover again. Refrigerate 8-12 hours. Be sure to place in a large enough container it can expand at will (I use a 5 quart ice cream bucket). Stir down batter. Pour from cup or pitcher onto center of hot waffle iron. Bake 5 mintues or until steam stops. Remove waffle carefully.

Serve with maple syrup, fruit jams, or with fruit and whipped cream.
