Steps:
- 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.

LIEGE WAFFLES (BELGIAN PEARL SUGAR WAFFLES)
I have not yet had the good fortune to visit Belgium, but I do frequent a lovely NYC cafe called Le Pain Quotidien, which is based in Belgium. I tried their crispy, caramelized Belgian Sugar Waffle, and was instantly in love. If perled sugar is not available, substitute an equal amount of coarsely crushed sugar cubes. I got this recipe off a Belgian website.

BELGIAN "LIEGE" SUGAR WAFFLES RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:
- Equipment needed: Waffle Iron. I own a non-stick Belgian waffle, made in America which worked very well for this recipe. NOTE: Butter and eggs should be a room temperature for best results. Dissolve the yeast in lukewarm milk. Gradually add all the ingredients to the flour, except for the pearl sugar. (My stand mixer works great to do this.) Let the dough double in size (about 30 minutes). NOTE: I turn my oven on to WARM for a few minutes, then turn it off. I cover the dough in a bowl, and place it into the warm and cozy oven to help proof the dough. Once the dough has doubled (I let mine rise for an hour), gently place onto a smooth surface. Gently flatten the dough into a rectangle and add the pearl sugar. Fold the dough over, in thirds (my own technique to distribute the sugar throughout). Divide the dough into small patties, about 3-4 oz each. NOTE: To be more traditional, Liege waffles are shaped into a rectangle. You can wrap each patty in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator. To make the waffles, bring them to room temperature for 30-60 minutes (or, I used my pre-WARMED oven trick and that did the job! To prepare: Bake in a greased and heated waffle iron. Be very careful, as the sugar will caramelize and be extremely hot. Allow them to cook for a few minutes, before biting into them. The texture is dense and moist-- and the caramelized sugar is so good that I cannot image adding anything else to them! RECIPE SOURCE: Lars Own Belgian Pearl Sugar Box Recipe on the back.

Steps:
- Prep time: about 1 1/2-2 hours with rising time Mix the yeast, water, sugar and salt in a bowl and let it develop or sit for 15 minutes. Place the flour in a separate large mixing bowl (we use the bowl of our kitchen aid stand mixer) and make a well in the center of the flour. Pour the yeast mixture into the well and mix until blended on medium speed (we use the paddle in our kitchen aid mixer). Add the eggs (one at a time), melted butter a bit at a time, and the vanilla and cinnamon. Be sure to mix well after each addition to the batter. Keep in mind the batter will be thick and VERY sticky (this is normal). Remove the bowl from the mixer and let the dough rest until it doubles in volume inside the bowl. (About 1 hour) Gently fold in the pearl sugar and let the dough rest for 15 more minutes. While the dough is resting, heat the waffle iron. Spoon about a 2″ ball of dough into the center of the waffle iron (this should yield a waffle that is about 4″ in diameter). I know that sounds small, but these rich waffles pack quite a punch. Waffles will take 3 to 5 minutes to bake (in our waffle iron, they take 3 minutes and 15 seconds on level 3. Another reader preferred level 4. Play around with it to get it to your liking). Recipe makes 8 - 10 waffles.
