Method
Dissolve the yeast and sugar in the lukewarm milk and leave for 10 minutes until frothy.
Mix the flour with the salt, then add the yeast mixture, melted butter, eggs and vanilla and whisk well until you have a smooth, even batter.
Cover the batter and leave it to rise in a warm place for 45–60 minutes, until doubled in size and full of bubbles.
Heat the Belgian waffle iron (with its characteristic deep pockets), grease it with a little butter and pour in enough batter.
Close the iron and cook the waffle for 4–5 minutes until golden and crisp outside and soft inside. Serve hot, dusted with icing sugar or with maple syrup, fresh fruit and whipped cream.
