Steps

Prepare the Dough

In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, warm the milk (do not boil!), then add the beaten eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and mix until smooth. Cover the bowl and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Make the Caramel

In a medium saucepan, combine sugar and water. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, then bring to a boil. Do not stir, just swirl the pan until the caramel turns an amber color (about 8-10 minutes). Remove from heat and carefully, slowly pour in the warmed heavy cream (be careful, it will steam!). Stir in the butter and sea salt until smooth. Set aside to cool.

Cook and Serve Waffles

Preheat your waffle iron. Lightly grease or butter the cooking surface. Pour a portion of the batter into the iron and cook until golden brown and crispy (about 3-5 minutes, depending on your waffle maker). Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve the freshly baked Belgian waffles drizzled with the salted caramel sauce.

Extra Tips

► Let the waffle dough rise thoroughly to ensure it becomes light and airy.

► Serve freshly baked waffles immediately with warm caramel sauce, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
