Gaufre fourrée lilloise

France · Europe

Short description: This filled waffle is a regional bakery sweet, flatter and softer than a crisp breakfast waffle.
Ingredients: Soft waffle layers are baked thin and filled with sweet brown-sugar or vanilla cream.
Cultural note: It is associated with northern bakery counters and gift boxes, where the filled layers are the defining feature.
Common misconception: It is not a thick waffle served with toppings; the filling is sealed between two thin waffle layers.
