What is the difference between yeast and baking powder when making waffle?!
Answers: yeast rises more and takes longer to rise. usually you would let the dough rest while it rises. yeast would not be good for waffles. use baking powder for waffles, pancakes, and biscuits. yeast is for things like bread and rolls.
You don't use yeast to make waffles. The heat from the waffle iron would totally kill the yeast. Yeast is organic, and baking powder is chemical. It would like the difference between cake donuts and raised donuts, totally different lightness, flavor and texture.
self--rising flour works wonders for waffles...but usually waffles you use pancake mix or bisquick. Yeast is for home made breads and rolls.
there is so such thing as yeast waffles, and once you start making them you won't go back they are sight they are like eating potato chips you can't stop!
yeast waffles recipe
will need a large bowl, because like all yeast products it will rise.
2 cups milk and 1 stick , put these in a small pan and warm on medium low heat till butter is melted.
while the milk and butter are warming,start next step.
1/2 cup of warm water , about 95 degrees warm to skin.
1 small package of active yeast, put water in your bowl and add pk. of yeast, let this work about 10 min.
3 cups all purpose flour
1tsp salt
1tsp sugar, theses next three ingedints add to the yeast and water after the 10 min. then add the milk mixture to the flour make sure milk not to hot. mix this all togather by hand or mixer till smooth ,cover. let stand over night, might put bowl in sink, because if bowl isn't large enough it will run over.
next morning add 2 beaten eggs and1/2 tsp baking soda to the batter and stir in good.
heat your waffle iron good and hot, this next part can be a little tricky and you might have to play with it a little. use about 1/2 the batter you might regularlly use because it is thin and runs. once you close youy waffle iron , mine takes a bout 5 minutes to bake, they will be nice and brown and crispy, i also preheat my oven on warm that way you can get a bunch fixed and everybody can eat to gather, if you don't you won't be able to keep up and you will never get to eat,ha! if there is any left over it can stay good in frig a couple of days .
i know this recipe looks like a lot of work,buts its worth it , hope you enjoy!
