Belgian Waffles

In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm milk. Let stand until

creamy, about 10 minutes.

In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, 1/4 cup of the warm

milk and the melted butter. Stir in the yeast mixture, sugar, salt and

vanilla. Stir in the remaining 2 1/2 cups milk alternately with the

flour, ending with the flour. Beat the egg whites until they form soft

peaks; fold into the batter. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap.

Let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.

Preheat the waffle iron. Brush with oil and spoon about 1/2 cup (or

as recommended by manufacturer) onto center of iron. Close the lid

and bake until it stops steaming and the waffle is golden brown.

Serve immediately or keep warm in 200 degree oven.
