Buttermilk Yeast Waffles
You know I love yeast and baking with yeast, especially fresh yeast. It is not very easy to find, but if you find a source for it, stick with them and nurture the relationship! It is invariably found in the fridge, and you can freeze it in helpful size lumps and use straight from the freezer.
I remember my mother unwrapping the faintly funky smelling blocks of yeast and breaking it into pieces. I was always fascinated by the look and feel. (Not so much the taste!) The Thermomix is so perfect for using fresh yeast, don't let it scare you…37°C is just perfect to warm it up and get it all bubbling and frothing…which is exactly what you want.
These are not the quickest breakfast around as you do have to allow a little rising time, but perfect to spoil dad this Father's Day…breakfast in bed? Sorted!
Of course you can replace fresh yeast with dried active yeast in any recipe and this is potentially a more reliable version of yeast, but the texture difference is quite noticeable to me, years into making food for a living.
These waffles are not the only waffle recipe we have on here and don't be locked into thinking they can only be served with syrup and fruit, we love our savoury waffles as well. Make sure you check them out. Have fun:
Coconut Waffles with Salmon and Smashed Avocado
Brown Rice, Quinoa Banoffee Waffles
Waffle Coffee Sandwiches (not really breakfast appropriate, but SOOOO good!)
