Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, vanilla, and salt until well combined.

Add the flour, sugar, and yeast and mix until fully combined.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least one hour or overnight.

When ready to make the waffles, place your waffle iron over low-medium heat.

Add about 1 cup of batter and cook until evenly golden brown, or about 2 minutes on each side. Set each waffle on a wire rack to cool slightly.

Serve immediately with butter, fresh fruit, and maple syrup.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Overnight Fermentation Magic 🌙
Prepare the batter the night before and refrigerate—the yeast will slowly ferment, developing deeper flavor and creating an even lighter, airier texture come morning.
Butter Temperature for Crispness ✨
Melt your unsalted butter and let it cool slightly before incorporating into the batter to prevent killing the yeast while ensuring optimal browning and crispiness in the waffle iron.
Preheat Your Waffle Iron Properly 🔥
Let your waffle iron heat for a full 5 minutes on medium-high heat until it's completely preheated; this ensures the exterior becomes golden and crispy while the interior stays tender.
Don't Overmix the Batter 🥣
Gently fold in the egg whites last (whipped separately) just until combined—overmixing develops gluten and deflates the aeration, resulting in dense waffles instead of fluffy ones.
Keep Finished Waffles Warm & Crispy 🧈
Place cooked waffles on a wire rack in a 200°F oven rather than stacking them directly—this prevents steam from softening the crispy exterior while keeping them warm for serving.
