Awesome waffle recipe – custardy, salty, crispy, rich. Mix the batter the night before.

Ingredients: 

1/2 cup warm water (about 105 to 110 degrees, so not too hot)
1 packet (1/4 ounce, 7 grams or 2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
2 cups milk, warmed (again, not too hot
1 stick (4 ounces or 115 grams) unsalted butter, melted and cooled until lukewarm
1 teaspoon table salt
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
2 cups (250 grams) all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Oil or melted butter for waffle iron
Powdered sugar, syrup or berries for serving

Directions: 

The night before: Pour warm water in the bottom of a large (larger than you think you’ll need, because the batter will rise a lot) bowl. Sprinkle yeast on top and let it dissolve and foam ever-so-slightly for 15 minutes. Stir in milk, butter, salt, sugar and flour — I do a little bit of wet ingredients then a little bit of dry, back and forth, to avoid forming lumps. If lumps form, you can mostly whisk them out.

Cover bowl with plastic wrap and set out on counter (see Note up top for debate on this) overnight.

The next morning, whisk in eggs and baking soda until smooth. Heat waffle iron** (a thinner one is better than a Belgian-style one, as these will not rise enough to fill a tall one out) and coat lightly with butter or oil. Ladle in 1/2 to 3/4-cup batter per waffle batch. The batter will be very thin and will spread a lot in the pan, so err on the side of underfilled until you figure out the right amount. Repeat with remaining batter.

Southern pancakes. Delicious served with butter, syrup and blueberries

Ingredients: 

1.5 cups cornmeal
1/2 cup flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
2 Tbsp honey
3 Tbsp maple syrup
3/4 C whole milk
1/4 C buttermilk
1/2 C unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
2 eggs
2 ears of fresh corn, grated

Directions: 

Put the cornmeal, flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add the honey, maple syrup, milk, buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and corn. Whisk to combine.

About 5 minutes before you are ready to make pancakes, preheat a greased griddle over medium heat. The griddle is ready when a few droplets of water sizzle and dance across the surface. Lower the heat to medium to begin cooking.

Drop 1/3 cup of batter onto the griddle. When bubbles set on the surface of the pancake and the bottom is golden, flip and cook one minute longer.
