Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 Tbsp active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp granulated sugar
  • 3/4 C whole milk (warmed, 110-115 degrees)
  • 2 lrg eggs (room temperature, lightly beaten)
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla
  • 3 Tbsp packed light brown sugar
  • 3 1/2 C Bread flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • 1 C butter (softened)
  • 1 1/2 C belgian pearl sugar (not Swedish pearl sugar)

Instruction

  • Place yeast, sugar and milk into your mixer and proof yeast 5-10 mins
  • Add the egg, vanilla, honey, 2 1/2 C flour, brown sugar and salt and mix until cohesive
  • add butter 4 Tbsp at a time kneading until totally incorporated
  • Add the rest of the flour and knead 5-10 mins
  • Cover and let rise until doubled in size, around 2 hours.
  • Then knock the dough down and wrap the dough in plastic wrap, 2-3 times around
  • refrigerate the dough overnight, 8-24 hours.
  • The next day, let the dough come to room temp, about an hour and knead in all the pearl sugar
  • Once mixed, divide the dough into 12-13 pieces of equal size.
  • Cook in a waffle iron for about 4 mins at 360 degrees (see note for regular waffle iron)
  • Give each waffle a few minutes to cool slightly before eating. that sugar melted on the outside is HOT!!!! I serve mine with fresh whipped cream and strawberries, but they are also good stuffed with dark chocolate, or served with with bananas, blue berries, nutella, cookie butter, ice cream, or plain with some powdered sugar!
  • you can keep the cooked waffles warm in an oven at 200 degrees while you cook them all so they will all be ready to serve at the same time
