BELGIAN BIRTHDAY WAFFLES
Make these yeasted waffles for someone special's birthday, and they'll forget all about cake! Letting the batter ferment gives the waffles a malted flavor and makes them extra golden and crispy. The pop of confetti sprinkles mimics the crunchy pearl sugar found in some Belgian waffles.

Steps:
- Heat the milk in a medium saucepan until just warm (about 110 degrees F). Sprinkle the yeast over the milk, and let it sit until dissolved, about 5 minutes. Pour the mixture into a large bowl, and stir in the butter, 1/2 cup of the sugar, egg yolks, 1 tablespoon of the vanilla and the salt. Fold in the flour (it's OK if there are a few lumps). Cover and set aside in a warm place until the mixture is bubbly and rises by about half its original volume, 1 to 2 hours. (The batter can be made a day ahead and refrigerated after it rises.)
- Once the batter is ready, preheat the waffle iron and preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Whip the egg whites and the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar with an electric mixer to soft peaks in a medium bowl. Fold the whites and sprinkles into the batter.
- Brush the top and bottom of the preheated waffle iron with butter, and pour the batter into each compartment (this varies from 1/4 to 1/2 cup, depending on the size of your waffle maker). Cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp; remove them to a plate, and transfer to the oven to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Meanwhile, warm the maple syrup in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Remove the saucepan from the heat, and stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon vanilla. Set aside and keep warm.
- To serve, stack 2 waffles on a serving dish, drizzle with some of the maple-vanilla syrup and top with a dollop of whipped cream. Serve the remaining syrup on the side.
