Liège Waffle

Liège waffles are one of Belgium's two most popular waffle varieties. These chewy, unevenly shaped treats are made with a thick, brioche-like dough sweetened with pearl sugar and baked in a specially designed waffle pan. The pearl sugar melts during the baking process, imparting a distinct caramel flavor to the waffles.

A one-of-a-kind mesh of soft interior and crispy exterior made even more irresistible by caramelized sugar grains. Its fluffy texture contrasts beautifully with its crackling exterior, which is characteristically thick. It's a must-see in Liège, along with the boulets.

Although the origins of Liège waffles are unknown, it is believed that they were influenced by French culinary traditions and popularized by skilled Liège bakers. These waffles are typically eaten plain in Liège, but they can also be topped with powdered sugar, whipped cream, chocolate, or various fruits.
