In a large bowl, add milk, yeast, and granulated sugar. Allow to sit until foamy.
Add eggs, vanilla, and butter to yeast mixture and whisk together until combined.
Whisk in 2 cups of the flour and then switch to a spoon and mix in the last cup.
Over with plastic wrap and let rise until double in size. This takes 30-60 minutes. I preheat my oven to warm or 170 degrees then turn off and place the dough in to raise.
Uncover and stir down the dough. Then fold in the pearl sugar and let set for 15 minutes.
Preheat Belgian waffle iron. Spoon out a baseball sized amount of dough and place in the waffle iron. My waffle iron has 2 waffles so I can do 2 at a time.
Cook until golden. This takes about 2 minutes. I have mine iron set to medium heat.
Carefully remove from waffle iron and top with desired toppings. Makes 10-12 waffles.
