A few notes about the pearl sugar, flours choices, and waffle maker mixed in with the pictures...
Here's Bee stirring up the eggs
Lou adds the flour- I used a mix of flours, like I normally do in baking (wheat germ, whole grain flour, spelt flour, flax seed meal, and unbleached white flour). We are used to this, but they are SOOO tasty when you use all white flour without my health whole grain stuff mixed in!
sometimes we make a bit of a mess...
Here you can see the risen dough next to the pearl sugar. You can use this pearl sugar from IKEA. I haven't found it at any local grocery stores. OR you can use crushed sugar cubes. This is the first time I have used the actual pearl sugar and think that when I have used up the pearls, I'll go back to sugar cubes. The pearls did not melt in the waffle maker like the cubes do. I also don't like how they keep their shape, it makes it look like the waffles have kosher salt all over them. Also, sugar cues are cheaper.

Hannah's hair looks so curly in the first picture!
Oh wow! I had these exact waffles in a market in Belgium. I even brought back a box of the sugar pearls. Now I have a recipe to try them on! (though it sounds like sugar cubes are better).
Thank you!
