i really like the gingerale recipe that came with my waffle maker. I'm sorry I can't find it to give it to you!Whatis your favorite waffle recipe from scratch, forget the boxes..........?
I can't find my recipe right now, but the thing that makes the biggest difference (and can be done to ANY recipe) is to separate the eggs. Blend the yolks into the batter, then beat the whites until they're stiff. Once the batter is completely mixed, add the whites and fold them in very gently. This will make the waffles very light and fluffy!
RAISED WAFFLES





1 pkg dry yeast


1/4 cup warm water (105-115 degrees)


1 3/4 cups lukewarm milk (scalded, then skimmed)


2 T sugar


1 tsp salt


3 eggs


1/4 cup butter, softened





Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add a pinch of sugar. Leave 10 minutes to proof - yeast should show that it's active by creating a foam, and bubbling.


Add all ingredients to a large mixer bowl and beat with a rotary beater until smooth.





Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from draft for 1 1/2 hours. Stir down batter. Cover and refrigerator overnight.





Stir down batter. Pour onto center of a hot, seasoned waffle iron.





Bake each waffle about 5 minutes, or until steaming stops.
