OVERNIGHT PUMPKIN-PECAN WAFFLES

OVERNIGHT PUMPKIN-PECAN WAFFLES
We liked this - especially being able to get it ready the night before.  We put batter in fridge overnight instead of keeping it at room temperature like recipe says.  They got better the longer the batter was out.  Next time I would take out of fridge about 30 min-1 hour before we need to cook.  Scott thought they would be good with chocolate chips sprinkled in batter before cooking.

This came from the parade magazine - December 2014

Ugh, these were terrible (kept mine out at room temp as directed). Tasted like yeast, very bitter or sour tasting. Tossed the whole batch out. They didn't seem to rise much, so maybe my yeast was partially to blame but wouldn't try these again even if so. Too bad because they looked so good in the picture!

Sherry,
Sorry they didn't taste good. That is a bummer! I have two different waffles makers. I have found my belgiam waffle maker does better with yeast recipes.
