Instructions

Mix the lukewarm milk with the yeast and a tablespoon of the sugar in a bowl and whisk briefly. Let stand until it begins to foam.
Meanwhile, separate 2 of the eggs. You will only need the yolks. Use the other 2 eggs whole.
When the yeast mixture begins to foam, add the flour and sugar. Knead into a dough, adding the yolks and eggs one at a time. Add the softened butter and finally the salt and vanilla extract.
Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, until it has doubled in volume.
Now mix the pearl sugar into the dough and divide the dough into about 20 equal balls. Let them rise under foil or a clean dish towel for another half hour.
Grease the pan and bake the waffles until golden brown and fluffy.
