1

In a large bowl, add all-purpose flour, sugar, salt and instant yeast.

2

In a medium bowl, add eggs and vanilla bean paste. Beat well.

3

Heat up milk in a small saucepan on medium. When it starts to steam, add butter and stir to melt the butter thoroughly. Remove from the heat and cool the milk and butter mixture until it’s just warm, about 110-115F.

4

Add the eggs and vanilla bean paste mixture to the dry ingredients and mix. Add the warm milk and butter mixture. Mix well.

5

Cover the bowl with a plastic wrap and place in a warm area (about 80-90F) for 1 to 1 ½ hours until the mixture has doubled in volume.

6

Add the pearl sugar into the dough and mix to distribute the sugar evenly. Rest the dough for 15-30 minutes.

7

Preheat the waffle maker and spray it with non-stick spray. Scoop in ¼ cup of the dough. Close the lid and cook for 2 ½ minutes. Repeat until all the dough has been cooked. Serve warm.
