Many of us just order waffles for breakfast or brunch or make a quicker version that is mixed the morning of making (like this recipe).
Belgian waffles are supposed to be the OG waffle: they are usually made with yeast, whipped egg whites are folded in and they use something called pearl sugar which adds a deeper colour and slight caramel flavour.
I am offering an easy overnight recipe for waffles that anyone can whip up. It has a yeasty taste, light texture and golden colour. Try this recipe out this weekend for breakfast.
