Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 packet active dry yeast
  • 3/4 cup whole milk, lukewarm
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups Belgian pearl sugar

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, combine lukewarm milk and yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  • In a stand mixer bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
  • Add the yeast mixture, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix with a dough hook until a rough dough forms.
  • Gradually add the softened butter, mixing and kneading for about 5 minutes until dough is smooth and elastic.
  • Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place for 60-90 minutes or until doubled in size.
  • Gently fold in the Belgian pearl sugar, being careful not to crush the sugar crystals.
  • Divide the dough into 10-12 equal balls and let them rest for 15-30 minutes at room temperature.
  • Preheat a Belgian waffle iron. Cook each dough ball for 3-5 minutes until golden brown and caramelized.
  • Remove waffles and let cool slightly before serving.
