2 cups whole milk, warmed
1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled
1 tsp salt
2 cups flour
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp baking soda

The night before combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let stand 10 minutes, until foamy. Stir in the warm milk, melted butter, and salt. Beat in the flour until smooth (this may be done using a hand mixer on low speed).

Wrap bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let stand overnight on the countertop; do not refrigerate.

Pre-heat waffle iron on setting 4.

While the waffle iron is heating, stir the eggs, vanilla, and soda into the batter.
