These golden yeast-raised waffles are light, crispy, and perfect for breakfast or dessert.
Combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
Ensure the yeast is evenly distributed for consistent rising.
Melt the butter and mix it with the milk and buttermilk.
Use warm milk to help the butter blend smoothly.
Whisk the eggs and vanilla extract in a separate small bowl.
Whisk until the mixture is frothy for better incorporation.
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the batter.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
Refrigeration allows the yeast to develop flavor and texture.
Preheat the waffle iron and stir the batter to deflate it slightly.
Ensure the waffle iron is hot for a crispy exterior.
Pour the batter into the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Avoid overfilling the waffle iron to prevent overflow.
Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
