The texture is good BUT this recipe has TOO MUCH oil in it!!!!! The dough started leaching oil as it sits and my waffle iron was flooded with a pool of oil when the waffles were cooking. A total disaster! I would say just cut back on the oil say 1/2 cup and you'll be fine.

Thank you sooooo much for this recipe! I was an exchange student in Belgium over 15 years ago and haven't had one of these since. These turned out just as I remebered them. I carmelized sugar as suggested by the previous reviewer as I wanted to make them right away and they turned out great. My entire family is in love with them.

really really good. I found the pearl sugar at an international store yesterday and had to try them. They were so similar to the ones we had in Belgium. I think next time I'll increase the salt and the vanilla just to enhance the flavor. I served them plain and with only 4 of us here, there was only 1 left over. Next time I may serve them with ice cream for dessert.

This was a hit with my friends. For the pearl sugar I caramelized the sugar over medium heat in a sauce pan then poured it out onto a cookie sheet and let it cool. Then I shattered the sheet and used the shards as the pearls. It works very well. I suggest using a medium low heat in the waffle iron. That way when you are making several waffles you will not burn the sugar from previous waffles.

saw a throwdown with Bobby Flay & the person he challenged made these,& I had to try them,in Salt Lake there was only 1 store that carries the Pearl Sugar,but it was worth the hunt. To make a long story short . THESE ARE WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!
