Recipe
Section titled “Recipe”-
Make dry mix: Sift together the flour, diastatic malt powder, yeast, sugar, salt, and baking soda into a large bowl. Make a well in the center.
-
Warm wet ingredients: In a small pot over low heat, warm the milk and butter together until the butter is melted and the mixture reaches about 104°F (40°C). Do not exceed 113°F (45°C) or it will kill the yeast.
-
Add egg: Once the milk mixture is at temperature, whisk in the eggs until combined.
-
Combine: Pour the wet mixture into the well in the dry ingredients and whisk until a smooth batter forms.
-
Bloom the yeast: Let the batter sit at room temperature for at least 10 minutes, or up to 2 hours. The longer it blooms, the richer the flavor and airier the waffles.
-
Cook: Pour batter into a preheated waffle iron and cook until golden and crispy on the outside with a soft, custardy interior. Time will vary by waffle iron.
