STEP 1:

Make waffle batter: Whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cornstarch, active dry yeast, and salt in a large mixing bowl.

STEP 2:

Whisk together milk, vanilla, melted butter, and eggs in a medium bowl or large glass measuring cup.

STEP 3:

Use a spatula to gently push the dry ingredients against the sides of the mixing bowl to make a well.

STEP 4:

Add wet ingredients to flour mixture.

STEP 5:

Fold in gently with a spatula just until no flour streaks remain.

STEP 6:

Do not overmix – batter will be visibly lumpy.

STEP 7:

Rest batter: Cover bowl loosely with plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for 1 hour, until the mixture begins to bubble.

STEP 8:

Refrigerate batter: Transfer bowl to the refrigerator and let rest overnight (or up to 24 hours).

STEP 9:

Cook waffles: Pour 1 scant cup of batter in the center of a preheated Belgian waffle iron.

STEP 10:

Close lid and cook until golden brown and crisp (cooking time will vary based on your waffle maker). Use a silicone spatula to loosen waffles from the iron.

Serve warm with butter and maple syrup! Enjoy!
