Beer in Waffles?
Who Would Have Thought?
While waffle batter already has a lot of variation depending on who's making it, why not throw in the option of thousands of different kinds of beers into the mix? On a slow Sunday, why not wake up a little later and pre-game the day of football with a little bit of beer in your waffles?
Waffles traditionally have a type of malt flavor already so it lends itself easily to being mixed with different types of brews. Any type of beer can be incorporated into the waffle batter depending on preference since the yeast in beer acts as a substitute for the yeast in waffles. To stick with the consistency of waffles, I'd recommend using a lighter beer like a pilsner or wheat beer, which contains a significant amount of malted barley. However, using a stout beer also works just as well since it is made using roasted malt or barley, hops, water, and yeast.
