Granulated sugar can be used, but will not provide the same texture.

In a large bowl, combine 200 ml of warm milk and 10 g of dried yeast and mix.

Let the yeast dissolve until activated.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 2 eggs to the mixture and mix well using a spoon, whisk, or mixer.

Gradually add 500 g of all-purpose flour in two parts, adding a pinch of salt in between.

Mix well before adding 100 g of butter and incorporate it fully into the dough.

Once mixed, transfer the dough to a work surface and knead until it forms a ball.

Place the dough back in the bowl, cover it, and let it rest for 1 hour and 30 minutes until doubled in size.

After resting, degas the dough and add 100 g of pearl sugar, mixing to distribute evenly.

On a work surface, continue to mix the dough to ensure the pearl sugar is well incorporated.

Form the dough into a ball and cut it into pieces of about 70 g each for the waffles.

Preheat a waffle iron and lightly oil it.

Place the dough balls in the waffle iron and cook until golden brown, checking for doneness after a few minutes.

Remove the waffles and place them on a cooling rack to prevent sticking.
