Liege Belgian Waffles with Pearl Sugar
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 1/2 tablespoons white sugar
3/4 cup lukewarm milk
3 eggs
1 cup melted butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups pearl sugar (such as Lars' Own®)
Directions
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). Let stand for 15 minutes until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam.
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. 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.
Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
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.
Note about pearl sugar:
You can order pearl sugar online. I am checking out Ikea because I have heard people have found it there. Oh happy day! I just called Pirate O's in Draper and they have it.

Dough balls may be wrapped in plastic wrap or wax paper and refrigerated overnight.
At the Bruges, they have the dough balls rising individually. Give them a try! Serve them with Nutella, vanilla bean ice cream, fresh fruit. You don't want to kill these with syrup but if you insist (I love syrup but I don't think you'd get the right "feel" of these European waffles with syrup.) Enjoy!!!
