Cooking Instructions
- 1
Assemble your ingredients
- 2
In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup warm water and 1 teaspoon sugar until the sugar dissolves. Sprinkle the active dry yeast on top of the water but do not stir. Allow to sit for 5 to 10 minutes until the yeast are activated and the liquid becomes bubbly in appearance.
⭐️⭐️⭐️If you have rapid rise yeast, you don’t have to do this step! Add the yeast directly to the batter, along with an extra 1/4 cup of milk.
- 3
Combine the butter and milk in a bowl, and microwave at 30 second intervals until the butter is completely melted and the milk is warm (~105°F).
- 4
In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Whisk well to combine.
- 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, and maple syrup.
- 6
Add all the liquid ingredients to the flour mixture and lightly mix before adding the yeast mixture and mixing gently again. It’s okay if there are some lumps. Don’t overmix!
- 7
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow to sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
For best results, transfer the bowl to the fridge overnight. If you really can’t wait, though, you can cook them immediately.
- 8
Remove the bowl from the fridge and preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- 9
Gently mix the waffle batter, then ladle it onto the preheated waffle iron.
If you have a larger waffle iron (I.e.. 7 inch, deep pocket), the cooking time may be 5 to 6 minutes. My smaller waffles took about 2 to 3 minutes before the iron’s alarm sounded.
- 10
Transfer the cooked waffles to a wire rack to cool.
- 11
The outside is a little crispy and the inside is light and fluffy!
Serve them with your favorite toppings: syrup, fruit, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Everyone loves waffles, the free-hotel-continental-breakfast waffles. And whenever we try to make them at home, they keep falling short. And it makes us wonder the “secrete” ingredients that we are missing out on?Using pre-made waffle mix, homemade mix all resulted in disappointment. Did research upon research and I found out that “secrete” ingredient—corn flour or starch. And, of course, keeping the waffles warm in the oven.Another trick is to separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. While the egg yolks are whisked till smooth and added along with the other wet ingredients and added to the dry, the whites are whisked till stiff peaks are formed and folded into the batter. This is why you will see some frothy egg in the batter.Do not be tempted to use buttermilk. Use regular milk. Buttermilk makes the waffles creamy not crispy. The batter will be runny. Thinner than other waffle batter.Belgian waffles are a type of waffle known for their lighter batter, larger squares, and deeper pockets compared to American waffles, making them ideal for holding syrup and toppings. Originally, Belgian waffles were leavened with yeast, but modern recipes often use baking powder for convenience. Belgian waffles are commonly eaten for breakfast but can also be served as dessert with ice cream and fruit.Next time you are making waffles, try these tips mentioned above and see the result!

I tried many different recipes of waffles but I finally settled with this one. They aren't too sweet. There's only a moderate amount of butter. The finished product is nice and light to garnish with lots of toppings.You can make this batter just by mixing the ingredients in order from the top. Making the batter can be done really quick, so heat the waffle maker at the same time. Recipe by Yukiline
