Preparation

Step 1

Gently heat milk to lukewarm temperature. Pour milk into a bowl and add yeast. Allow several minutes for the yeast to dissolve.

Combine the flour, eggs, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract and salt in bowl.

Using your mixer's dough hook, mix all the previous ingredients to form a dough.

Add room temperature butter to dough. The dough should now have a sticky texture.

Cover the dough in a bowl and let it rest for at least 2 to 3 hours. This will allow the dough's volume to double.

Once risen, gently mix to allow the air to be released from within the dough. Add Waffle Pantry Belgian pearl sugar to the dough.

Preheat waffle iron and add each individual dough ball to the machine once it has reached cooking temperature. Monitor for color a golden color preferred .
Voila, your waffles are ready! The optimal time to serve your waffles is straight from the waffle iron. Enjoy!
