Ingredients
- 3 ½ cups milk
- 6 tablespoons salted butter cut into pieces
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 4 cups all-purpose or white whole wheat flour or a combination (see note)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon instant yeast
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.
