Pearl sugar is granulated white sugar that has been processed into small, round grains that have been polished to a pearl-like sheen. Typically, pearl sugar is used in Scandinavia (and elsewhere) to decorate cookies, cakes, cinnamon rolls and much more.
Pearl Sugar is used to make the popular Belgian sugar waffles. Added to the dough, this imported sugar caramelizes when baking to create crunchy pockets of sweetness. Or, try adding some color to your baked goods by shaking the pearl sugar in a plastic bag with a few drops of food coloring. Either way you'll satisfy that sweet tooth!

Comments about Swedish Pearl Sugar:
I am planning to use the pearl sugar to make my version of Belgian street waffles. I had a devil of a time finding it, and was very happy to find it at igourmet. I just wish I could buy it in larger quantities, just in case my attempts are successful. I can see many other uses for this type of sugar in holiday baking, etc.
perfect!
