Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 4 cups bread flour
  • 1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons Red Star Active Dry Yeast)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 3/4 cup whole milk 120°-130°
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 8 oz package Belgian Pearl Sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup corn syrup
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 or 2 tablespoons milk

Instruction

  • Make cinnamon butter and icing and set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine 2 cups flour, yeast, and salt. Add milk, butter, and honey to flour mixture. Beat 1 minute at medium speed. Mix the eggs in one at a time until well blended. Mix in vanilla.
  • Switch to the dough hook and gradually mix in remaining flour to make a soft, slightly sticky dough, add more or less flour as necessary.
  • Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let rest on the counter overnight.
  • The next morning, punch down the dough and knead in the pearl sugar. Divide dough into 8 pieces and shape each piece in to a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and let pieces rest for 15 minutes.
  • Preheat a Belgian waffle iron on medium heat (3.5 worked perfectly for me). Brush waffle iron with melted butter and cook one waffle at a time until golden brown, about 4 minutes.
  • Cinnamon Butter
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine butter, powdered sugar, corn syrup, and cinnamon. Beat until light and fluffy.
  • Icing
  • In a mixing bowl, beat powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
  • Spread each waffle when it’s hot with Cinnamon Honey Butter and a drizzle of icing.
