• The batter is also wonderful for waffles-- just follow manufacturer's instructions regarding the setting to use, the volume your waffle iron will hold, etc.

• When you are ready to cook, whisk the egg, melted butter or oil and the vanilla extract together in a small bowl, then add the rested sponge. Add the salt and the baking soda to the batter and mix to combine.
• Pour some of the batter onto a preheated greased waffle iron and cook until the waffle is brown and crisp, then repeat. Or use a small ladle to create pancakes on a preheated oiled pan or griddle, flipping them when they are well browned on the bottom. Serve immediately.

WAFFLE OF '2'S - EASY BATTER, BUT SIMILAR TO HOTEL W

Steps:

• Dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl.
• Wet ingredients into bowl.
• mix.
• you want the batter moderately thick, anyway not to runny. Based on the measurements above it's never runny, but sometimes thick. If so, add a splash of buttermilk and mix by a couple stirs. You don't need a mechanical mixer, a few swift stirs with a large spoon should incorporate the ingredients well enough.
• Preheat the waffle iron. Either brush with butter or use vegetable spray. Follow directions for your waffle iron. The batter will keep for a day or two in the fridge if covered. I have a cheap ($20) French waffle iron I got online. It's the flip kind with a light that goes on to tell me when the waffle is done.
