Ingredients

  • 4 cups bread flour
  • 1 (0.25oz) package (7g) or 2 1/4 teaspoons Red Star Active Dry Yeast
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons table salt
  • 3/4 cup whole milk (warmed to 120°-130°F)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 8 ounces Belgian Pearl Sugar

Cinnamon butter

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup corn syrup
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Icing

  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine 2 cups flour, yeast, and salt. Add milk, butter, and honey to flour mixture. Beat 1 minute at medium speed. Mix the eggs in one at a time until well blended. Mix in vanilla.
  • Switch to the dough hook and gradually mix in remaining flour to make a soft, slightly sticky dough, add more or less flour as necessary.
  • Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let rest on the counter overnight.
  • Make the Cinnamon Butter: In a large mixing bowl, combine butter, powdered sugar, corn syrup, and cinnamon. Beat until light and fluffy.
  • Make the Icing: In a mixing bowl, beat powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
  • Punch down the dough and knead in the pearl sugar. Divide dough into 8 pieces and shape each piece in to a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and let pieces rest for 15 minutes.
  • Preheat a Belgian waffle iron on medium heat (about 3.5). Brush waffle iron with melted butter and cook one waffle at a time until golden brown, about 4 minutes.
  • Spread each waffle while they're hot with Cinnamon Honey Butter and a drizzle of icing.

How is it safe to leave this on the counter all night when it has eggs and milk in it?!!!

Hi Melanie,

It is but if you don’t feel comfortable you can let it rise at room temperature till the dough has doubled in size. Then Refrigerate overnight.

Happy Baking!

In step 7
Does this mean the waffle becomes a dough and not a pourable batter? Do you shape it to the size of your waffle maker?

Thank you
Jenny

Hi Jenny – It will be a wetter dough, but not pourable like a typical waffle batter. Yes, shape it to the desired size.
Happy baking!

Can I cut this recipe in half?

I realize I could bake all of the batter up and freeze them, but don’t really like frozen baked goods.
Thanks for another great Red Star recipe.

Can I use a regular waffle iron instead of a Belgian iron? I’m thinking possibly divide into smaller portions.

Hi Elizabeth – yes, that should work fine. Enjoy the waffles!
Happy baking!

Please tell me what Belgian pearl sugar is and what a suitable substitution would be. Thank you!

Hi Jill – Belgian Pearl Sugar has large granules that adds a nice crunch and sweetness to the recipe. You can find it online if it’s not available at your local store. Here’s a great article on how to make your own using sugar cubes: https://bakerbettie.com/pearl-sugar/.

Can turbinado cane sugar be substituted for the pearl sugar? Thank you.

Red Star Yeast | Reply

Hi Christine – Turbinado sugar has different properties than pearl sugar. If you can’t find it at your local store, there are online options available. Here’s a great article on how to make your own using sugar cubes: https://bakerbettie.com/pearl-sugar/.
