Overnight Waffles (Easy Breakfast Waffles)
Overnight waffles take the morning work out of a special breakfast the next day. This recipe is a favorite and topped with the buttery maple nectarine topping makes them even better!
I don’t think I’ve ever met a person who didn’t like waffles. Overnight waffles are a genius idea.

Ever since I had waffles at an all-you-can-eat buffet which were made in the kind of waffle iron that is flipped upside-down, (which I now own!) I’ve been in love with them!
My cousin Ketie and I often talk about waffle recipes. Her husband, Carmen, rolls his eyes and can’t believe that we spend so much time talking “waffles.” Once, when we were discussing a particular waffle recipe, he told her he was going out to run some errands. As a joke, I told her to start talking about waffles again as soon as he walked back in!
I bet you’ll love this peaches and cream (with Cognac)!
It was hilarious! I could hear him in the background loudly ranting that he could not believe that anyone could discuss waffles for over an hour!
As conversation-worthy as waffles are, I think you’ll agreee that they are much better on a plate, topped with some sort of sweet, delicious, syrupy fruit concoction.
Another wonderful yeast recipe: PERFECT YEAST DOUGHNUTS
Here is my take on Mark Bittman’s Overnight Yeast Waffle recipe, along with my own recipe for a perfect summer nectarine topping! The nice thing is that most of the waffle batter is made the night before, so it doesn’t take long to get them going in the waffle maker the next morning. Enjoy!

In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients and mix well. Then mix in the milk, butter and vanilla (or lemon juice). Cover and leave overnight at room temperature.
The next morning, stir in the egg yolks.
Beat the egg whites in a separate bowl until soft peaks form, then gently fold into the waffle mixture.
Oil the waffle maker if needed, and preheat.

Ciao Christina! Saluti from San Francisco. I am a first time visitor. Though it looks like you have not written in a while. I hope that in your hiatus you are enjoying many cucina adventures. These waffles are bomb. I’d eat them with these toppings for any meal of the day. I also write a blog about food but with my reflections on family, friends and relationships. So if you still check your blog and read this; stop by and visit. Maybe follow. That would be cool. Hope you get back to writing soon.
Ciao, Mario! You must not have clicked on anything but this page because I just posted a Lemon Drop Martini recipe YESTERDAY!:) We’re almost neighbors, since you’re in SF and I’m in LA! I’d love to follow your blog, and hope you follow mine too, since I’m also on blogger, it’s easy.
Thank you for stopping by and I look forward to reading your posts!

P.S. Check out my post on ARANCINI, I think you’d like it. :)
Oh these waffles look so good! And I still haven’t got waffle maker :(
You could put the topping on pancakes in the meantime :) Those are yummy too!
