Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cups Warm water
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 2 cups Milk
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 Large eggs, beaten
- (for waffle iron as needed) Nonstick cooking spray or oil
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine warm water and the packet of active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5 minutes until the yeast is dissolved and slightly foamy.
In a medium saucepan, heat the milk over low heat until it’s warm to the touch but not boiling. Remove from heat and stir in the melted butter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
Gradually add the warm milk mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
Stir in the dissolved yeast mixture and vanilla extract until evenly combined.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let it sit at room temperature for 8-12 hours, or overnight, to allow the batter to rise.
In the morning, whisk the beaten eggs into the risen batter to incorporate them fully.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease the surface of the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray or oil if necessary.
Ladle the batter onto the hot waffle iron, spreading it evenly (be careful not to overfill). Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp. This typically takes 3-5 minutes, depending on your waffle iron.
Carefully remove the waffles and repeat with the remaining batter. Keep cooked waffles warm on a baking sheet in a low oven (200°F/93°C) if needed.
Serve the waffles immediately with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, whipped cream, maple syrup, or powdered sugar.
