  • Proof the yeast. This will help to ensure that the yeast is active and will produce a light and fluffy waffle.
  • Use warm milk. The milk should be between 105-115 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help to activate the yeast.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will result in tough waffles.
  • Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking. This will help the batter to develop its flavor.
  • Cook the waffles on a hot waffle iron. This will help to create a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior.
  • Serve the waffles immediately. Waffles are best when served hot and fresh.
