directions

  • Allow eggs and sparkling water to come to room temperature first.
  • Sift the flour and salt into a bowl, then make a well in the center.
  • Melt the butter over hot water or in the microwave and cool to lukewarm, about 110 degrees.
  • Beat the eggs in another bowl, then add the butter whisking to combine.
  • Sprinkle yeast over the top and whisk well.
  • Then add the sparkling water and whisk again.
  • Add the entire mixture to the flour along with the granulated sugar and the vanilla extract.
  • Beat the dough for at least 10 minutes.
  • It will start out kind of curdled looking, but will stiffen and become slightly sticky brioche-ish type dough.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 60 to 90 minutes.
  • Begin heating your waffle iron and add the pearl sugar to the dough.
  • Fold it in,actually you kind of knead it.
  • Drop by heaping 1/8 cup (about 3 Tbsp.) onto each quarter or section of the waffle iron. (Please ajust for round irons by dropping 1/4 cup in the center of the iron) and bake until well browned.
  • Serve hot off the iron, dusted with confectioners sugar, or top with UNsweetened liqueured whipped cream. (Amaretto would be nice ).

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I'm a 60 year old man living in south Arkansas with my wonderful wife. we've been married almost 35 years and we both love to cook. I became disabled and confined to a power chair in 1990 so I have a lot of time to try new recipes. In our church I'm famous for my melt in your mouth briskets. But nobody grills a porterhouse steak like my sweetie. We are looking for new recipes all the time. When I found RecipeZaar I new I had hit the jackpot. Our favorite restaurant is an all you can eat place called The Old Feed House; <br />Catfish, froglegs,ribs, etc with all the trimmings. Standing room only at times.</p>
