Belgian Yeast Waffles

I could surf recipe websites for hours. One of my favorites in the King Arthur Flour site, and that's where this waffle recipe came from.

Belgian Yeast Waffles

1 1/2 cups milk
6 tablespoons butter
2 to 3 tablespoons maple syrup
3/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
2 large eggs
2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp instant yeast

Heat the milk until it's very hot. (I microwaved it for 2 minutes and that seemed about right.) Place it in a large mixing bowl (you'll need lots of room for expansion), and add the butter, maple syrup, salt, and vanilla. Stir until the butter melts. Whisk in 1 1/2 cups of the flour to cool the mixture. Add eggs and yeast. Add remaining 1/2 cup flour. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest at room temp for 1 hour, or refrigerate overnight. The batter will at least double in size. Cook as usual for waffles. Yield is 5-7 waffles.
