Microwave 2 and 1/2 cups of milk until warm, about 40 seconds at a time until the spoon feels warm.

Melt 4 oz of salted butter in the microwave for about 35 seconds.

In a bowl, combine 2 and 1/2 cups of flour, 1/4 cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 2 egg yolks.

Add the foamy yeast mixture and warm milk to the dry ingredients and mix with an electric mixer.

Cover the batter and let it rise for 30 minutes.

Fold in 2 egg whites until fluffy.

Preheat the waffle maker until the green light comes on.

Pour batter into the waffle maker and cook for about 8-10 minutes until crispy.
