Funnel Cake Waffles

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
• 1 teaspoon white sugar
• 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups water
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Directions

Combine 1/2 cup warm water and 1 teaspoon sugar in a bowl; add yeast. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 10 minutes.

Mix flour, 2 cups water, butter, and salt into yeast mixture and stir until smooth. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.

Stir 1/4 cup sugar, vanilla extract, and baking soda into flour mixture until batter is smooth.

Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium heat. Drop batter, about 1/4 cup per waffle, onto the griddle until waffles quit releasing steam, about 10 minutes.
