Instructions:
| Time | Instructions |
|---|---|
| Before Bed | Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl: instant yeast, all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt. Stir in the milk until well combined. Then add the cooled melted butter and vanilla extract, if using. The mixture will be very loose. Cover the bowl and let it sit at room temperature overnight. |
| Morning | Separate the two eggs. Stir the yolks into the batter until fully incorporated. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until they hold soft peaks. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter until just combined. |
| 5 minutes | Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly brush the waffle iron with olive oil. Ladle the batter onto the waffle iron, spreading it evenly. Close the lid and bake until the waffles are golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter. |
| Serve the waffles immediately with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream. Alternatively, keep them warm in a low oven until all waffles are baked. Enjoy your delicious Overnight Waffles! 🎉🥞 |
