Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Instant yeast
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Butter (for greasing waffle iron)
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Honey
- 2 tablespoons Butter (for Dutch honey syrup)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
Gradually whisk in the milk and melted butter until the mixture is smooth and lump-free.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (at least 8 hours). The batter will ferment and develop flavor during this time.
The next morning, whisk the eggs and vanilla extract into the fermented batter until fully incorporated.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions and lightly grease it with butter.
Pour the batter into the waffle iron (about 1/2 cup per waffle, depending on the size of your waffle iron) and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
While the waffles cook, make the Dutch honey syrup. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, heavy cream, honey, and butter.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until the syrup thickens slightly.
Remove the syrup from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. The syrup will thicken further as it cools.
Serve the waffles hot with a generous drizzle of Dutch honey syrup and additional butter if desired.
