Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.75 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Active dry yeast
- Nonstick cooking spray (for waffle iron)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, warm the milk until lukewarm (but not hot). Sprinkle in the active dry yeast, stir gently, and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
Once the yeast has activated, add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the milk mixture. Whisk until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until the batter is smooth. Be careful not to overmix.
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 8 hours). This allows the flavors to develop and the batter to rise slightly.
In the morning, remove the waffle batter from the refrigerator and give it a gentle stir. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray. Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the waffle iron (depending on its size), ensuring the grid is evenly covered.
Cook the waffles until golden brown and crisp, usually 4-5 minutes, or per your waffle iron's instructions.
Carefully remove the waffles and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
