Belgian style Belgian waffles made from yeast dough. Not the pourable kind Americans are used to but the dough ball type made in Europe. the 4 2/3 cups of flour is only a minimum starting point. Then in the steps when you add the flour it should reflect the fact that you must add what ever aditional flour is needed at the point when you add the sugar and butter until you can form balls with a loose but not sticky dough. In other words just until you have enough flour so that you can form a ball without the dough sticking to your hands. Adding more beyond that point and the dough will be hard and breadlike. Too little and it will be too soft and stick to your fingers. With all yeast doughs temperature and humidity will effect how much flour is needed.
