Instructions

Make the batter 12-24 hours in advance and refrigerate tightly covered. Use a bowl that gives the batter at least double the space to puff and rise so the batter doesn't overflow in the refrigerator.
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and butter and warm over medium-low heat until the butter is just melted and the mixture is warm to the touch. Set aside. Whisk together the eggs and vanilla in a small bowl and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt and yeast.
Stir the warm milk/butter mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Whisk in the egg mixture, stirring just until incorporated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 12 hours or up to 24 hours.
When ready to make waffles, stir the batter down gently. Heat a waffle iron and cook the waffles - amount of batter used will depend on the manufacturer instructions.

Notes

Flour: I've made these with 100% white flour = divine. I've made these with 100% wheat flour = hearty and slightly more dense. I've made these with 50% white flour and 50% whole wheat flour = just right for us.
Quantity: this recipe can easily be cut in half if needed.
