Servings 8 waffles (or 6 Belgian-style waffles)

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cup whole milk, room temperature
  • 6 tablespoon butter, melted, cooled
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 .75 ounce packet active dry yeast

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl (the batter will double in size), combine all ingredients. Whisk until combined (the batter will be lumpy).
  • Cover the bowl securely with plastic wrap and let the batter rise in the fridge overnight, or at least 8 hours.
  • When risen, set the batter on the counter for at least 30 minutes prior to cooking—stirring once.
  • Preheat the waffle iron and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Scoop ¹/³cup of the batter into the center of the iron and close the lid.
  • Bake until golden brown—about 5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  • Serve immediately, or keep in a warm oven until ready to serve. Serve with butter and a generous amount of maple syrup.
