Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 tsp yeast

  • 1/2 Tsp Salt
  • 2 Cups Milk
  • 8 Tablespoons one stick of melted butter, then cooled

Instructions
 

Night Before

  • The night before you plan to make the waffles, combine the yeast, flour, sugar, and salt with a whisk.
  • Next add in 2 cups of milk and one stick of melted butter that has been cooled.
  • Cover the bowl and let it sit overnight. The batter will expand so use a large bowl.

Morning Of

  • Heat the waffle iron.
  • Brush the iron with your oil of choice, top and bottom, to keep the waffle batter from sticking.
  • Separate the egg yolks from the whites. Mix the yolks into the batter.
  • Beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Do not skip this step!
  • Gently fold the egg whites into the batter.
  • To make the waffles, spread about 1 cup of batter onto the steaming iron. Follow your iron's instructions as to how long to cook it for.
