Yield 6 to 8 waffles

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon active dry yeast (about 1/2 packet)
2 cups milk
1 large egg, lightly beaten
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the waffle iron
Nonstick spray

Steps:

Combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk in the milk until blended. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let stand overnight at room temperature. (If it's warmer than 70 degrees, refrigerate batter.) The next morning, heat the waffle iron. Beat the egg and the 6 tablespoons melted butter into the batter, which will be quite thin. Spray the hot waffle iron with nonstick spray, and rub on a little butter with a paper towel or a piece of bread. Add just enough batter to cover the cooking surface, about 1/1/3 cups for a Belgian waffle, 2/3 cup for a standard. Cook the waffles until crisp and brown but not too dark, 2 to 3 minutes each. Serve hot.
