Yield: 10 servings
Ingredients: 1 cup warm whole milk (110° to 115°); 2-1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast; 1 tablespoon sugar; 2 large eggs, room temperature; 3/4 cup butter, melted; 1 tablespoon vanilla extract; 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour; 3/4 cup Belgian pearl sugar; Nutella, whipped cream and fresh berries, for serving

Made with a rich, yeasted dough and pearl sugar that caramelizes in the waffle maker, Liège waffles are even more decadent than your go-to waffles.

Ingredients

1 cup warm whole milk (110° to 115°)

2-1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast

1 tablespoon sugar

2 large eggs, room temperature

3/4 cup butter, melted

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 cup Belgian pearl sugar

Nutella, whipped cream and fresh berries, for serving

Instructions

1 Mix the waffle dough

2 In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the warm milk, yeast and sugar, and let them sit for 5 to 10 minutes or until bubbly. Using the whisk attachment, mix in the eggs, butter and vanilla extract until combined. Switch to a dough hook and gradually add the flour while mixing at a low speed. Knead until the dough comes together, two to three minutes.

3 Let it rise

4 Place the bowl in a warm location. Cover and let sit for 30 minutes or until the dough is puffy. Gently fold in the Belgian pearl sugar. Divide the dough into 10 balls.

5 Cook and serve

6 Preheat the waffle maker. Bake the dough balls according to the waffle manufacturer's directions until they're golden brown. If desired, serve the Liège waffles with Nutella, whipped cream and fresh berries. Editor's Tip: It's less fun than eating hot waffles, but scraping any left-behind caramelized sugar off your waffle maker before it cools is a good idea.
