🇧🇪 Belgium recipe

Cramique

Cramique is a tender, lightly sweet Belgian bread enriched with butter and eggs, studded with plump raisins or sometimes pearl sugar. A staple of Belgian breakfast tables, it falls somewhere between a brioche and a pain de mie, with a soft, pillowy crumb and a delicate sweetness. Sliced thick and spread with Belgian butter, or toasted and drizzled with sirop de Liege, it is the ultimate morning indulgence.
