Cut 1 pound of plums into wedges and add to a pot.

Squeeze the juice of one orange into the pot and drop the whole orange in for flavor.

Add 3/4 cup sugar to the pot.

Create a spice satchel with 2 star anise, 3 cloves, 2 cinnamon sticks, and 3 black peppercorns, and drop it into the pot.

Simmer the compote uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the plums are cooked but not falling apart.

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of sparkling water, 2 1/4 teaspoons yeast, and 3 tablespoons sugar, and mix to combine.

Add 2 eggs to the mixture and mix quickly.

Gradually add 4 cups of all-purpose flour while mixing on low speed.

Pour in 1 cup of melted butter and mix until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rise for about 1 hour until doubled in size.

Prepare the white chocolate sauce by measuring 1/2 cup of whipping cream into a pot and adding 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

Heat the cream on high until warm, then pour it over white chocolate and stir gently until melted and smooth.

After the dough has risen, turn it out onto a worktable and incorporate 1 cup of pearl sugar into the dough.

Cut the dough into pieces and shape them roughly into rounds.

Preheat the waffle iron and place a dough ball in the center, then close the lid and cook for about 3 minutes until golden brown.

Remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining dough.

Plate the waffles with white chocolate sauce and spiced plums.
