Brussels Beer Waffles

Submitted by Pesto lover

"ZWT 6. The beer acts as a leavening agent and leaves no trace whatsoever after cooking. Good with sour cream and brown sugar. If you are going to serve these for breakfast, you can prepare the batter the night before and leave it in the refrigerator until morning. No further rising is required before use. This recipe is from Jackie Olden's Come Into the Kitchen - a great cookbook."
