Light and Crispy Yeast Waffles

This is my favorite everyday waffle recipe. Yeast waffles are crisp on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside, which I think is the perfect texture.

Just make sure that you leave a little extra room in your mixing bowl for the batter to puff and bubble a little. And if you’re worried that these waffles will have yeasty taste to them, don’t. The yeast gives the waffles their great texture, but the waffles just taste like, well, waffles.
