THE BEST BELGIAN WAFFLES WITH YEAST

Steps:

• In a saucepan add 360g of the milk. Add in the butter cubes and warm it over low-medium heat until the butter has melted. Leave it to cool down to lukewarm, then pour it into a large bowl.
• Add to this the yeast, sugar, salt, flour, and eggs and whisk them together until combined. It will be a bit lumpy and that is fine. Cover the bowl with a lid or a plate and place it in the refrigerator overnight. For faster waffles, the waffle batter can also ferment on the bench for 2 hours or until doubled, though they won't be as flavorful.
• Once it has fermented, stir the batter with a fork to deflate it. Add in 2-3 Tbsp of milk to create a pourable cake batter consistency.
• Heat the waffle iron. Once it is hot, pour in approximately ¼- ½ cup of batter per waffle, this will depend on the size of your waffle maker. Bake them for 3-4 minutes until deep golden brown and crispy.
• Serve the waffles immediately to retain their crispiness.
• The baked waffles can also be frozen for future use and reheated in the toaster.
