Okay, here is the best waffle recipe ever.

Now, I mean it, ever.

Also, it is the easiest ever, too, especially if you make the night before part of the mixture in your mixer bowl. Come morning, all you have to do is plunk in your two eggs and the smidgen of baking soda and get the waffle iron plugged in while the whisk on the mixer whirls away.

There is a funny mismatch going on here. While these waffles are super easy to mix together, their taste is very complex. And they are so light and crispy! It’s kind of unbelievable.

One more note before the link, yes, it is true that I, even I, Annie the (sort of) germaphobe, do exactly as the recipe says. I leave batter with milk and butter and yeast out on the counter overnight. I suggest that you do so, too (unless your kitchen is not air conditioned — in that case you’d probably need to refrigerate). The taste will reward you and you’ll no longer be concerned about silly little things like bacteria.

Here’s the link, y’all!

It’s from Smitten Kitchen, of course.

Happy Saturday, y’all!
