🇧🇪 Belgium recipe

Liege Waffles

Unlike their lighter Brussels cousin, Liege waffles are made from a rich, brioche-like yeast dough studded generously with chunks of Belgian pearl sugar. When pressed in a hot waffle iron, the pearl sugar caramelizes into irresistible shards of golden sweetness embedded in the dense, chewy crumb. Eaten warm from the iron, they need no topping at all.
