• Place in a standing mixer with the dough hook and add 2 cups of bread flour.
  6 Cups Bread Flour
• Mix until the dough is thoroughly incorporated, and add the remaining flour, cover with plastic wrap and allow to rest for up to 4 hours on the counter. See notes for allowing to rest in the fridge overnight.
  4.5-5.25 Cups Flour
• Punch down the dough.

  3 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
• Add the powdered sugar, mascarpone and vanilla and beat until peaks form.
  1.5 Cup Powdered Sugar,1 Cup Mascarpone,3 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Recipe Notes

To scald milk, just place milk in a pan over medium heat, do not bring to a boil, instead let it heat up until foam appears around the sides and a little “skin” appears on top of the milk.

You can let the dough rest for up to 24 hours covered with plastic wrap in the fridge. The dough will need to sit on the counter and come back to room temperature to use.

Need to skimp on the rise time? No biggie, though you will lose some of that awesome flavor. 

Waffles can be frozen for up to 3 months.

Storage Tips

Make Ahead: I mentioned above that the waffle dough could be made up to 24 hours ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator covered tightly in plastic wrap until ready to bake. Just make sure that you let the dough come to room temperature before cooking.

Freezing: These waffles freeze extremely well both before and after baking. If you want to freeze the dough, form the dough balls and then wrap them well in plastic wrap and then in a freezer bag. Let them thaw completely and come to room temperature before cooking. You can also freeze the cooked waffles. Let them cool completely and then wrap them in plastic wrap. Store them in an airtight container or ziploc bag. Both the dough frozen or the waffles frozen will keep for up to 3 months.

Reheating: Reheat leftover waffles in a toaster or in the oven set at 250 degrees until warmed through.
