Time 1h20m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 ½ tablespoons white sugar
¾ cup lukewarm milk
3 eggs
1 cup melted butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups pearl sugar (such as Lars' Own®)

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the yeast and white sugar over warm milk in a small bowl. The milk should be no more than 100 degrees F (40 degrees C). Let stand for 15 minutes until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam.
  • Whisk the eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract into the yeast mixture until evenly blended; set aside. Stir together the flour and salt in a separate large bowl, and make a well in the center. Pour the egg mixture into the well, then stir in the flour mixture until a soft dough forms. Cover with a light cloth and let rise in a warm place (80 to 95 degrees F (27 to 35 degrees C)) until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes. Gently mix in the pearl sugar.
  • Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
  • Place a baseball-size ball of dough on the preheated waffle iron. Cook waffles until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough. Allow waffles to cool for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.

REAL BELGIAN STIFF DOUGH WAFFLES-NO SUGAR ADDED



Real Belgian Stiff Dough Waffles-No Sugar Added image

These came from a grandmother to one of the girls in our youth group. She was born in Belgium and this is her family recipe - they are rich and lovely. I use splenda now for the recipe as my son is diabetic, but it works with sugar beautifully too. These are the ones you only eat once a year! Great as dessert waffles too!

  • Don’t overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the waffles tough.
