These fluffy waffles are incredibly light, crisp and delicious.
They're so good they've become my go-to recipe, and you shouldn't be
intimidated by the fact that yeast is involved: the yeast actually
makes them super-convenient to make. I mix up the batter the night
before, then just pop it in the fridge to rise overnight. The next
day I can just get to work cooking the waffles. If you like you can
keep the waffles warm in a low oven (200 to 250F) until you're ready
to serve them.
Active: 50 min
Total: 1:50
Place the warm milk in a small bowl and sprinkle 1 teaspoon of the
granulated sugar and the yeast over the top; set aside for a few
minutes so the yeast can activate.
In a bowl, using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the egg whites
until stiff peaks form; set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk-and-yeast mixture, the
egg yolks, vanilla, butter and remaining sugar. Add the flour and
salt and stir until the batter is mostly smooth (a few lumps won't hurt).
Gently fold in the egg whites, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and
allow it to rest for about an hour or so in a warm spot, or
refrigerate overnight.
When ready to make the waffles, preheat your waffle iron according to
the manufacturer's instructions. Brush the plates of the waffle iron
with a little butter or spray them with some cooking spray. Ladle in
some of the batter (check the instructions of your waffle iron to
know exactly how much batter to add) and cook golden brown. Repeat
with the remaining batter. Serve the waffles with your choice of
fresh fruit, confectioners' sugar or warm maple syrup!
