Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Instant yeast
- 2 cups Milk
- 1 stick Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 Eggs
- as needed Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
In a medium saucepan over low heat or in a microwave-safe container, warm the milk until lukewarm (not hot).
Stir the melted butter and vanilla extract into the lukewarm milk.
Gradually pour the milk mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth and no lumps remain.
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 8 hours.
The next morning, remove the bowl from the refrigerator. Add the eggs to the batter and whisk until fully incorporated.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray.
Pour the batter onto the center of the waffle iron, using just enough to cover the surface (amounts will vary by waffle iron size). Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, typically 4–6 minutes per batch.
Remove the cooked waffle and repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.
