Step 1
1. In a small saucepan, heat the milk until hot. Do not boil! Pour the milk into a large bowl and add the melted butter, brown sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture cools to room temperature.

2. Add eggs, flour, salt, and yeast, and mix everything together. A few small lumps are okay. Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise for 1–1½ hours. At this point, you can either make the waffles immediately or refrigerate the batter overnight. If refrigerated, remove the batter from the fridge one hour before cooking. Stir the batter and let it come to room temperature.
