| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Heat milk, water, butter, and honey in a saucepan until the mixture reaches 120°F (48°C). |
| 2 | In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, eggs, active dry yeast, salt, and the warmed milk mixture. |
| 3 | Mix at low speed just until moistened, then increase to medium-high speed and beat for 1 minute until well combined. |
| 4 | Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the batter for several hours or overnight, stirring occasionally to ensure proper fermentation. |
| 5 | Preheat your waffle maker and set the oven temperature to “warm” to keep the cooked waffles warm while you make the rest. |
| 6 | Pour about 1/2 cup (125ml) of batter onto the preheated waffle maker’s grids. |
| 7 | Close the waffle maker gently and bake until steam no longer escapes, which usually takes about 3-4 minutes. |
| 8 | Carefully remove the waffle from the maker using a fork and place it on a baking sheet in the oven to keep it warm while you cook the remaining waffles. |
| 9 | Serve the warm whole-wheat waffles with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or whipped cream, and enjoy a nutritious breakfast! |
