Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Active dry yeast
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0 as needed Cooking spray or melted butter for the waffle iron

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, active dry yeast, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, warm the milk until it is lukewarm (around 100-110°F). Avoid overheating, as it may kill the yeast.

Step 3

Pour the warmed milk into the dry ingredients and stir until combined. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes to activate the yeast.

Step 4

Add the melted and cooled unsalted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Stir until the batter is smooth and well incorporated.

Step 5

Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate the batter overnight (or for at least 8 hours). The batter will rise and develop flavor as it rests.

Step 6

The next morning, preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 7

Remove the batter from the refrigerator and give it a gentle stir to deflate it slightly.

Step 8

Grease the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray or brush it with melted butter to prevent sticking.

Step 9

Ladle the batter onto the waffle iron (use the amount recommended for your waffle maker) and close the lid. Cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, typically 3-5 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the cooked waffles and serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of whipped cream.

Step 11

Repeat with the remaining batter, lightly greasing the waffle iron as needed between batches.
