• Heat the milk until hot but not boiling. Let cool to lukewarm.

  In a large mixing bowl, combine the lukewarm milk, water, sugar, yeast, salt, and egg.

  Beat on low speed for 1 minute, until combined.

  Add the flour and melted butter. Beat again for 1 minute, until smooth.

  Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel. Place in a warm spot and let rise until bubbly on top, about 30 minutes.

  Preheat and lightly grease a waffle iron.

  Stir the batter gently, then pour onto the hot waffle iron.

  Cook until waffles are golden brown and crisp.

Notes

• Batter should be thin and pourable.

  A slightly tangy flavor is normal with yeast waffles.

  For a warmer rise, place the covered bowl in an oven that has been briefly warmed, then turned off.
