Liège waffles

Gaufres liégeoises

For a snack on a rainy or snowy Sunday afternoon... Waffles, yes, but Liège waffles, with pearl sugar that crunches under the tooth and caramelizes during cooking!

Ingredients (for about ten waffles):

  • 200 g of flour,
  • 2 eggs,
  • 1 pinch of fine salt,
  • 25 g of fresh baker's yeast or 8 g of instant yeast,
  • 100 ml of warm milk,
  • 30 g of soft butter,
  • 100 g of pearl sugar.

Preparation

  1. Mix the yeast into the warm milk.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the flour, 2 eggs, a pinch of salt, milk, and yeast. Gradually mix using the paddle attachment until the mixture reaches full speed. Once the mixture is smooth, cover it with a cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Add the softened butter and pearl sugar. Mix with the paddle attachment at medium speed for a few moments.
  4. Preheat the waffle iron and brush it with a little oil. Once the waffle iron is hot, place a small mound of batter on each plate. Let it cook for a few moments until the waffle forms and is golden brown. Repeat until all the batter is used up.
  5. Let the waffles cool on a wire rack before enjoying.
