Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Milk
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 as needed for waffle iron Cooking spray or melted butter
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the milk until it is lukewarm (around 110°F/43°C). Be careful not to overheat it, as very hot milk can kill the yeast.
Melt the unsalted butter and let it cool slightly. Stir the melted butter and vanilla extract into the warm milk.
Gradually pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the batter rest at room temperature for at least 1 hour, or refrigerate overnight for a slower rise and richer flavor.
When ready to cook, lightly beat the eggs and fold them into the batter until fully combined.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions and lightly grease it with cooking spray or melted butter.
Pour the appropriate amount of batter into the waffle iron (usually about 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on the size of your waffle maker) and close the lid. Cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, about 3–5 minutes.
Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings such as syrup, butter, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
