In a stand mixer, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 tablespoons of brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

Slowly pour in 1/3 cup of lukewarm water to activate the yeast while mixing.

Add 3 eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture.

Slowly pour in 1 cup of melted butter and mix until a wet and sticky dough forms.

Transfer the dough to an ungreased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise for 90 minutes.

After 90 minutes, add 1 cup of Belgian pearl sugar to the dough and gently stir.

Let the dough rise for another 15 minutes.

Preheat a Belgian waffle iron and brush it with butter or spray with nonstick cooking spray.

Scoop out 1/3 cup of the batter and place it in the center of the waffle iron.

Cook until golden brown on both sides, then remove with a fork and transfer to a plate.

Repeat with the remaining batter, yielding 7 to 8 waffles.
