Ingredients

Instructions

Make Dough

  • Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm milk in a small container and let sit for a few minutes.
    2 t instant dry yeast, 6 T lukewarm milk
  • Meanwhile, place the flour in large bowl, add the softened butter, and combine using your hand.
    1 3/4 cups all purpose flour, 1 stick unsalted butter
  • Add egg, salt, vanilla, and mix together.
    1 egg, 1/4 t salt, 1/2 t vanilla
  • Add in the yeast and milk and mix to fully combine.
    The dough will be quite sticky and messy. 

Rise Dough

  • Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and place in a warm place to rise (about 30 minutes).
  • Add the Belgian sugar and knead in until evenly distributed.
    4 oz Belgian pearl sugar
  • Divide into approximately 3 ounce balls (to make about 7 total).

Bake

  • Bake in a heated waffle iron.
    (I did level 5 out of 6 on mine, but your temp will vary according to the make/model of the waffle iron.)
