Belgian waffles may not be so popular anymore, but I had a craving for them and came up with a recipe for my favorite ones that I loved eating in the past. I arranged it so that I could easily make it anytime here in the US. I make a lot and freeze them so I could pop them in the toaster for breakfast or put them in my kids' lunch box. Please try as it is rich and delicious!
Note: This recipe uses a lot of butter, so I don't recommend it if you are on a diet!

Pearl sugar needs to be mixed into the dough prior to final rising.
Only use the egg yolks.
The amounts of butter and egg yolks do not have to be exact.
The amount of butter specified is 1 stick commonly sold in the US. If you are making this in Japan, measure about 100 grams. For 8 to 10 waffles. Recipe by Harumie

Steps

1

Mix the wet ingredients like egg yolks, milk and honey. Then add the dry ingredients to make the dough. The butter needs to be at room temperature when mixing.
2

Once the dough is kneaded, allow it to rise for 30 minutes (40 to 50 minutes in winter).
3

After the first rise, cut into 40 gram pieces. This should yield about 8 to 10 pieces.
4

Spread pearl sugar on a plate.
5

Press one side of each dough into the pearl sugar to coat.
6

Then reshape to wrap the sugar inside.
7

Wrap neatly like this.
8

Once all of the dough has pearl sugar incorporated into it, wrap in a wet towel and allow them to rise for the final time for about 10 minutes. Preheat the waffle maker.
9

Set the waffle maker to level 2 and cook for 2 minutes. Cook until browned.
10

Note: Do not shut the lid tightly. It will make the waffles too flat. It is ideal if you put the cover down as lightly as possible.
11

If you want to make them in a flowery shape, use only the center and cook one at a time.
12

Let them cool for about 5 minutes to dissipate the gas before eating. They are also delicious after being put away in a container and completely cooled.
13

If you don't have nib sugar, use chocolate chips instead. You can also mix cocoa and almond flour into the dough to make chocolate waffles. It is also delicious to incorporate matcha into the dough and top with finely chopped amanatto before cooking.
