Yeast Waffles

2 C. lukewarm milk
1 1/4-ounce package active dry yeast
4 egg yolks
2 1/2 C. all-purpose flour
1/2 t. salt
1 T. sugar
1 t. cinnamon
1/4 t. nutmeg
1 t. vanilla extract
1/2 cup melted butter
4 egg whites

Put milk in a large mixing bowl, sprinkle yeast over the top. Stir well to dissolve so no lumps remain.

Beat egg yolks and add to cooled yeast mixture.

Stir in vanilla & melted butter.

Beat the egg whites until stiff; fold into batter.

Let stand in a warm place for an hour, or until doubled in size.

Use a Belgian waffle iron, fill with about 1 1/2 cups of mixture; cook until golden brown. Serve with syrup or cream and fresh fruit.
