Honey provides natural sweetness.

In a bowl, combine warm milk and yeast to activate and bloom the yeast.

Add flour, salt, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the yeast mixture.

Incorporate half a stick of softened butter into the mixture.

Crack an egg into a separate bowl to check for any issues before adding it to the mixture.

Mix the ingredients together until a dough forms, using a spatula to scrape down the sides as needed.

Let the dough rise in a greased bowl, covered with plastic wrap or a towel, for 30 to 60 minutes until doubled in size.

Prepare Pearl sugar by purchasing it from Amazon, as it may not be available in local stores.

Fold the Pearl sugar into the risen dough until evenly dispersed.

Preheat the waffle iron and spray it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Pour half of the batter into the center of the waffle iron and close it to cook.
