Yeasted Belgian Waffles
These yeasted Belgian waffles have a crisp, golden exterior, soft and fluffy interior, and a sweet, yeasted flavor. The batter can be made the night before, so the next morning all you need to do is whip them up in your waffle iron and drizzle a generous amount of maple syrup on top! As a fun, shareable (and stackable!) morning treat, they’re sure to be the star of the breakfast table!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 454 g (2 cups) whole milk, room temp
- 85 g (6 tablespoon) unsalted butter, melted
- 3 eggs, room temp
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 360 g (3 cups) all-purpose flour
- 100 g (½ cup) granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoon active dry yeast
- Maple syrup, for topping
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.
Notes
- Chill the batter overnight. For more depth of flavor, chill the batter overnight in the fridge. If you're in a pinch, chill it for at least one hour.
- Skip the non-stick spray. To achieve crisp, evenly golden waffles don't use non-stick spray, just be sure to let your waffle iron heat up for a few minutes on both sides.
- Set the cooked waffles on a wire rack. To avoid the fresh cooked waffles from losing their crispness, place them on a wire rack. If you set them on a plate, the steam will turn that crisp exterior soggy!
