Tips:

Use fresh, active yeast. Old or inactive yeast will not produce a good rise in your waffles.
Proof your yeast before using it. This means dissolving it in warm water with a little sugar and letting it sit for a few minutes until it becomes foamy. This will ensure that your yeast is active and will help your waffles rise properly.
Use warm milk or water for the waffle batter. Cold liquids will slow down the rising process.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the waffles tough.
Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking. This will allow the gluten to relax and will make the waffles more tender.
Cook the waffles over medium heat. High heat will burn the outside of the waffles before the inside is cooked through.
Serve the waffles immediately with your favorite toppings. Waffles are best when they are hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Yeast-raised waffles are a delicious and versatile breakfast option. They can be made with a variety of different ingredients, and they can be served with a variety of different toppings. Whether you like them plain or topped with fruit, syrup, or whipped cream, yeast-raised waffles are sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a special breakfast treat, give yeast-raised waffles a try!
