Instructions

Step 1

Gather the ingredients.

Step 2

Whisk the brown sugar and yeast with the water and let stand for about 5 minutes, until it is nice and foamy.

Step 3

Place the flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Gradually add in the yeast mixture until the dough is sort of dampened and shaggy looking.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, beating for 30 seconds after each addition.

Step 5

Whisk the vanilla in the butter and add to the batter gradually. Mix for about 1 minute or until smooth. It will be very sticky and have a thick but not stiff texture. Cover and let rise for about 1 hour.

Step 6

Right before you are ready to cook the waffles, mix in the pearl sugar. If you add it too early, it will dissolve and not create that crispy coating.

Step 7

Using 2 spoons, pull off about 2 tablespoons worth of batter and place onto a preheated waffle iron. Cook until golden brown.

Step 8

Place on a cookie cooling rack over a sheet pan. Keep warm in a preheated 250 F oven.

Step 9

Drizzle with chocolate sauce if you're feeling saucy and serve warm.
