Liège Waffle

Belgium · Europe

Short description: A Liège waffle is a dense, chewy yeast-dough waffle with irregular edges and caramelized pearl sugar pockets.
Ingredients: Yeasted dough made with flour, butter, eggs, milk, vanilla, salt, and pearl sugar that caramelizes as it cooks.
Cultural note: It is commonly eaten from bakeries, markets, and street stands, often plain because the sugar already makes it rich.
Common misconception: It is not the same as the lighter rectangular waffle often served with heavy toppings.
