Ingredients

10 servings

•

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
•

1.5 tablespoons white sugar
•

0.75 cup lukewarm milk
•

3 large eggs
•

1 cup melted butter

•

2 teaspoons vanilla extract
•

3 cups flour
•

0.5 teaspoon salt
•

1.5 cups pearl sugar (such as Lars' Own®)

Instructions

Sprinkle 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 yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam.
Whisk eggs, melted butter, and vanilla into the yeast mixture until evenly blended; set aside.
Stir together 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-sized 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.
