Activate the Yeast: In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until the yeast is foamy. This indicates that the yeast is active and ready to use.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the yeast mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Add the melted butter (or oil) and vanilla extract. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
First Rise (Proofing): Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size. This allows the yeast to work its magic and create a light and airy batter.
Gently Deflate and Stir: After the first rise, gently deflate the batter with a spoon. Stir it gently to redistribute the yeast.
Cook the Waffles: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or melted butter.
Pour and Cook: Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron, using the amount recommended by the waffle iron manufacturer. Cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, usually 3-5 minutes.
Serve Immediately: Serve the waffles immediately with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, syrup, whipped cream, or chocolate sauce.
