Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 2 ¼ cups flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast (must be instant)
- ½ cup (1 stick) butter
- melted
- 1 ½ cups warm water
- 2 eggs
- room temperature
- ⅓ cup milk
Instruction
- In a big mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt and instant yeast
- Make sure you use a pretty big bowl; the dough will expand a bit
- Whisk in the melted butter and warm water
- Mix until the dough comes together (it's ok if it’s a bit lumpy)
- Cover the top with plastic wrap and let the dough sit at room temperature for at least one hour
- If making the waffles later, you can refrigerate it overnight after letting it rest—just make sure you bring the dough back to room temperature before using
- Preheat a thick waffle maker to medium heat
- To make the waffles, remove the plastic wrap from the batter bowl
- The batter should be bubbly and mildly fragrant from the yeast
- Add the eggs and milk to the batter, and whisk
- Brush the waffle maker with a little melted butter or spray with some nonstick cooking spray
- Pour an even layer of batter into the waffle maker and cook for 6-8 minutes or until crispy and brown
- Serve immediately or place the waffles on a cooling rack set over a sheet tray and keep warm in a 200°F degree oven
