| Yield: | about 4 Belgian-style (deep-pocket) 7" round waffles |
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups lukewarm milk
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 to 3 tablespoons maple syrup, optional
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast
Directions
1) Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl, leaving room for expansion; the mixture will bubble and grow.
2) Stir to combine; it's OK if the mixture isn't perfectly smooth.
3) Cover with plastic wrap, and let rest at room temperature for 1 hour; the mixture will begin to bubble. You can cook the waffles at this point, or refrigerate the batter overnight to cook waffles the next day.
4) Preheat your waffle iron. Spray with non-stick vegetable oil spray, and pour 2/3 to 3/4 cup batter (or the amount recommended by the manufacturer) onto the center of the iron. Close the lid and bake for the recommended amount of time, until the waffle is golden brown. It takes us 5 to 6 minutes, using our 7" Belgian-style (deep-pocket) waffle iron.
5) Serve immediately, or keep warm in a 200°F oven. Serve with berries and whipped cream, if desired.
Yield: about 4 Belgian-style (deep-pocket) 7" round waffles.

- This is the best waffle recipe. Sooo much easier and simpler than any others and the waffles are outstanding! They have just the right amount of crispness on the outside. I even froze some and they were perfect too!

- Simply the easiest greatest yeast waffle I have ever made! My only regret is I halved the recipe which only made 4 waffles. My husband wanted to know what I was going to have for breakfast! LOL.

- I've tried many yeast waffle recipes that allow for sitting overnight. This one is by far the best in flavor and texture. I used 1/2 KA white wheat, 1/2 KA all-purpose and I used 2T of the optional maple syrup. I did bake them in a traditional waffle iron, but these were good enough to warrant purchasing a Belgian waffle maker. This recipe is a keeper!
