How to bake Belgian Liege waffles in a waffle iron?

Belgian waffles are thick delicious waffles that are baked in a special waffle iron. Recipes for Belgian waffles are very numerous, but I want to offer you a culinary recipe – Belgian Liege waffles. They have lumps of sugar in them, so they are often called waffles "Sugar pearls". You need to eat such waffles cold. They will also require a special "pearl sugar". A friend shared several packages of Parelkorrel sugar with me. But you can use any Belgian sugar for sugar waffles.
The oil must first be removed from the refrigerator and left at room temperature so that it becomes soft. Then knead the dough. To do this, sift the flour, add dry yeast to it, mix. Then beat in the eggs, add salt, vanilla sugar, pour in the milk. Knead the dough well and let it stand for at least thirty minutes.
Then add granulated sugar, pearl sugar and soft butter to the dough. Knead and divide all the dough into individual lumps of about eighty grams each (it is advisable to use kitchen scales). Leave them for fifteen minutes. The dough should be moderately thick so that it can be easily divided into pieces.
Now you need to heat the waffle iron. Bake the waffles until they turn golden brown.

Important: how to properly replace dry yeast with pressed yeast, in which liquid it is better to breed, why you need to be able to distinguish active yeast from instant and other useful tips read in the article about yeast .

Since the degree of taste sensations, including sweets, is individual for everyone, always add sugar (as well as spices, spices and seasonings), focusing on your taste! 

The longer the waffles are baked, the more crispy they become. But the main thing here is not to overdo it, otherwise the waffles will burn. Brown them until golden brown. If you want the waffles to be soft, then the baking time should be shortened (it is enough to bake them to a golden hue).
