Belgian liege waffle recipe

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

After the dough has risen, gently fold in the pearl sugar until evenly distributed.

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Divide the dough into portions (about the size of a golf ball) and place them in the preheated waffle iron.

Cook the waffles until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes depending on your waffle iron.

Remove the waffles and serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream, fruit, or syrup.
