Ingredients for 5 waffles

• 3/4 (1/4 ounce) package yeast
• 1/4 cup lukewarm water
• 1 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 vanilla sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/3 cups flour
• 2 eggs (slightly whisked)
• 1 stick of butter (room temperature or barely melted)
• 1/2 cup pearl sugar

Take the lukewarm water and mix in yeast, sugar, vanilla sugar and salt. Let the yeast develop for 15 minutes.

Whisk flour in stand mixer, make a well, pour in yeast mixture, and begin to knead. Once combined, add eggs and melted butter and knead until you get a nice and even dough.

Rest in a draft free, warm place in the mixing bowl covered with seran wrap until dough doubles.

Gently mix it in pearl suger and let rest for another 15 minutes or so.

Heat waffle iron, butter when hot, and pour in 3 tablespoons dough per waffle. Because we mixed in the sugar late in the process it will melt and caramelize and give that special Liege waffle taste.
