I tried the Waffle Love truck in Utah and was excited to buy some Belgian Pearl Sugar from them so I could try my own at home.  I found this great recipe at:

Copycat Waffle Love recipe
Prep time: 4 hours

Cook time: 5 minutes

Yield: 10 waffles

Serving size: 1 waffle

Waffle Love is an incredibly popular waffle truck in Utah and now you can make their famous liege waffles from home!

Ingredients

3/4 cup whole milk, scalded and cooled to warm milk. (I used warmed evaporated milk)
2 tablespoons water, warmed
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
3 teaspoons instant yeast
2 large eggs, lightly whisked
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons white sugar
3 teaspoons vanilla
4 cups bread flour
1 1/2 cups belgian pearl sugar (can be purchased from the Waffle Love truck for $6/lb, Amazon, Pirate O's or Orson Gygi) 

Instructions

Add the 1 1/2 teaspoons of sugar to the milk and water and add the yeast, stirring to combine. Allow the yeast to proof, or get foamy and puffy.
In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugars. Add the egg, honey and vanilla. Stir together and add the yeast mixture. Place in a standing mixer with the dough hook and add 2 cups of flour. Mix until the dough is thoroughly incorporated, and add the remaining flour, cover with plastic wrap and allow to rest for 4 hours, or up to 24 hours in the fridge after the first 4 hours. Then punch down and knead in the pearl sugar. Separate into 8 to 10 balls and place on a hot (365°), buttered waffle iron. Cook until golden brown and serve with biscoff, whipped cream and fresh berries or bananas. 

Dough can be frozen after the initial 4 hours of raising. Remove from freezer and allow to thaw for approximately 3 hours then add sugar and cook as directed above.
