Good Night Waffles

1/2 cup lukewarm water
1 Tbsp sugar
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
2 cups whole milk, warmed
1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled
1 tsp salt
2 cups flour
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp baking soda

The night before combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let stand 10 minutes, until foamy. Stir in the warm milk, melted butter, and salt. Beat in the flour until smooth (this may be done using a hand mixer on low speed).

Wrap bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let stand overnight on the countertop; do not refrigerate.

Pre-heat waffle iron on setting 4.

While the waffle iron is heating, stir the eggs, vanilla, and soda into the batter.

Cook and serve.

Egg Hats from Candace Wrights blog

Whole wheat bread
Eggs
Sliced Cheddar Cheese
Sliced ham

Heat your griddle very hot so the eggs don't run. Using the lid of your spray oil, cut a circle out of the middle of the bread. Spray the griddle with oil and place the bread on the griddle. Crack an egg in the hole. I like to "scramble" it a little with a fork. Cook for a few minutes and flip over. The egg may run a little. Place a slice of cheese and a slice of ham on the cooked side of the bread. Cook for a few more minutes to let the cheese melt and finish cooking the egg. Serve. I also throw the little holes on the griddle for "toast". We put jelly on the little toast pieces and the kids love it.

Pancakes

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 1/4 cups milk

Directions

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg and melted butter; mix until smooth.
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.
