Step 1

Dissolve yeast in milk and granulated sugar.

Step 2

Whisk in eggs, vanilla and butter.

Step 3

Whisk in salt and 1-2 cups flour until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Gradually whisk /stir in remaining flour to make a soft dough.

Step 5

Cover bowl, set in a warm place and allow to raise until double in size (approximately 30-60 minutes).

Step 6

Stir in Pearl Sugar and allow to rest 15 minutes while waffle iron is heating.

Step 7

Preheat waffle iron according to manufacturer’s directions.

Step 8

Divide dough into 10 softball size patties. (NOTE: Dough is sticky, dough is too soft to shape into patties, drop by scoop onto hot waffle iron; I like this method.)

Step 9

Cook each patty in prepared waffle iron until golden and crisp (about 2-4 minutes) or desired doneness.

Step 10

Serve with fresh fruit, chocolate and whipped cream.
