Honey is more readily available and often less expensive.

In a mixing bowl, add 3/4 cup warm whole milk and 1 package of active dry yeast, stirring well to dissolve the yeast.

In another bowl, combine 16 oz of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of pumpkin pie spice, and 1 teaspoon of salt, stirring together with a fork.

Add the milk and yeast mixture to the dry ingredients along with 1 and 1/2 sticks of melted butter, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup of pumpkin puree.

Mix the dough by hand until well combined, ensuring all dry ingredients are blended in, and switch to a large spoon or spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl if necessary.

Cover the dough and allow it to rise in a draft-free area for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 45 minutes.

After the dough has risen, fold in the Belgian pearl sugar, ensuring it holds its shape and does not dissolve.

Lightly brush the surface of the waffle iron with vegetable oil before cooking the waffles.

Set the waffle iron between 4 and 5 and bake the waffles for about 3 minutes, or longer until they are nice and brown, using a large scoop to transfer the dough to the waffle maker.
