A Dessert Waffle!
We first tried true liege waffles (prounouce lee-ezh) on a trip to Europe and we were instantly in love! Unlike American waffles that use baking powder batter, these waffles use a yeast dough and tend to be smaller. The best and moist unique part is the crunchy addition of Belgian pearl sugar! While traditionally a breakfast food, this waffle is more of a dessert and is enjoyed any time of the day. This treat offers a thicker and sweeter bite with a more bread-like texture. The sugar pearl crunch is especially satisfying! We love to top ours with Homemade Whipped Cream and fresh berries for the ultimate bite!
