Step 1
Mix together the active starter, flour and water in a bowl. Cover and leave overnight at room temperature.
Step 2
The next day, add the flour, honey, vanilla extract, salt, and eggs into a stand mixer bowl fitted a dough hook attachment.
Step 3
Knead until the dough comes together, about 5 minutes. With the mixer still running, add in small pieces of butter; only adding more when the butter has been incorporated into the dough.
Step 4
Continue to knead until the dough is smooth and shiny. (Don't add in the pearl sugar yet).
Step 5
Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl and cover. Leave to rise in a warm location for a few hours (3-4 hours, depending on how warm your kitchen is). Note: This dough will NOT double in size, but it will become slightly risen.
Step 6
When the dough is ready, knead in the pearl sugar and divide into 8 pieces.
Step 7
Preheat waffle iron to medium-high.
Step 8
Place the dough in the centre of the waffle iron and close. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until golden. (Be careful, the heated sugar is very hot).
Step 9
Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm.
