Ingredients

  • 0.3 ounce active yeast dry
  • cup butter melted
  •  eggs 
  • cups flour 
  • 0.8 cup milk lukewarm
  • 1.5 cups pearl sugar own® (such as Lars' )
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt 
  • teaspoons vanilla extract 
  • 1.5 tablespoons sugar white

Equipment

  • bowl
  • whisk
  • waffle iron

Directions

  1. Sprinkle the yeast and white sugar over warm milk in a small bowl. The milk should be no more than 100 degrees F (40 degrees C).
  2. Let stand for 15 minutes until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam.
  3. Whisk the eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract into the yeast mixture until evenly blended; set aside. Stir together the flour and salt in a separate large bowl, and make a well in the center.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the well, then stir in the flour mixture until a soft dough forms. Cover with a light cloth and let rise in a warm place (80 to 95 degrees F (27 to 35 degrees C)) until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes. Gently mix in the pearl sugar.
  5. Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
  6. Place a baseball-size ball of dough on the preheated waffle iron. Cook waffles until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough. Allow waffles to cool for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.
