Ingredients

  • 2 ¼ cups lukewarm milk about 80 F
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 6 tablespoons neutral oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour properly measured
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large bowl, stir together milk, yeast, and maple syrup. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes, or until foamy.
  2. Stir in remaining ingredients until combined.
  3. Cover with plastic wrap, and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes; the mixture will begin to bubble and will expand.
  4. Preheat your waffle iron.
  5. Grease the waffle iron, and pour 2/3 to 3/4 cup batter (or the amount recommended by the manufacturer) onto the center of the iron.
  6. Close the lid, and bake for the recommended amount of time, or until the waffle is golden brown.
  7. Serve immediately, or keep warm in a 200 F oven.

Notes

  • Milk: You can use any milk from skim to whole milk. Nondairy milk like almond milk will also work. 
  • Yeast: You can substitute an equal amount of instant yeast. If using instant yeast, there's no need to let the mixture proof.
  • Maple syrup: I use real maple syrup. However, you could use maple-flavored syrup if you prefer. 
  • Oil: A neutral oil like canola, vegetable oil, or light olive oil works well.
  • Flour: To properly measure the flour, sift or stir the flour to aerate it. The lightly spoon into the measuring cup and level. 
  • Nutrition values are estimates.
