Liège waffles with pearl sugar

Pour lukewarm milk into a small bowl, sprinkle sugar and active dry yeast on the surface and leave 15 minutes until the yeast turns to a soft foam.

Add melted butter, vanilla extract and eggs to the milk mixture and stir with a whisk until combined.

In a larger bowl stir the flour with a pinch of salt.

Make a well in the flour, pour in the liquid mixture and mix to a soft dough.

Leave in a warm place, uncovered, for half an hour until doubled; an oven on its lowest setting serves.

Mix the pearl sugar into the risen dough.

Butter the waffle iron and put on a piece of dough between golf-ball and baseball size.

Cook about 5 minutes, watching, until golden on top.

Serve plain.
