Recipe from How to Cook Everything, by Mark Bittman.
NOTE: This is the same recipe that was featured elsewhere as being Marion Cunningham’s from her Fanny Farmer Cookbook's!

1/2 cup warm water
1 pkg. dry yeast
2 cups warm milk
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted then cooled
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. sugar
2 cup flour
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 tsp. baking soda

Place water in a large mixing bowl and sprinkle with yeast. Let stand for five minutes to dissolve. Add milk, butter, salt, sugar and flour to yeast mixture, and beat until smooth and blended. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let stand overnight at room temperature.

The next morning, preheat waffle iron. Just before cooking waffles, add eggs and baking soda and stir until well mixed. Pour about 1/2 to 3/4 cup batter into very hot waffle iron and bake until waffles are golden and crisp. Serve hot.
