Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon white sugar
• 2 cups water
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 cup butter, melted
• 0.25 cup white sugar
• 0.5 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
• 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine 1/2 cup warm water and 1 teaspoon sugar in a very large mixing bowl; add yeast. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 10 minutes.

Step 2

Add flour, 2 cups water, melted butter, and salt to yeast mixture; stir until smooth. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight; dough will rise quite a bit.

Step 3

When ready to make waffles, stir 1/4 cup sugar, vanilla, and baking soda into batter until smooth.

Step 4

Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease the hot iron.

Step 5

Working in batches, pour in about 1/4 cup batter for each waffle. Cook until waffles are golden brown and the iron stops steaming, 5 to 10 minutes.
