Description
Another waffle variety originating from Belgium. Unlike 'Brussels waffles', Liège waffles are denser, oval-shaped, and have a caramelized crust. The dough is a variation of brioche, and it can easily be shaped into balls, unlike the 'sour cream' Brussels version. A key ingredient is special pearl sugar in the form of balls. During baking, it melts, forming the characteristic caramel crust, without which these waffles would not be themselves. This sugar can be purchased at specialty pastry shops, and if you can't find it, use finely crushed lump sugar for sprinkling.
Ingredients
- Margarine - 7.1 oz
- Sugar - 6.3 oz
- Vanilla salt - 0 oz
- Wheat Flour - 14.1 oz
- Farm fresh eggs - 2 pieces
- Salt - 0.2 teaspoons
- Milk - 4 fl oz
- Dry yeast - 1½ teaspoons
Step by Step guide
Step 1
Heat half of the milk in the microwave or on the stove. Add the yeast, cover, and let it rise for 10 minutes.
Step 2
In the remaining milk, crack 2 eggs, add salt, and whisk everything together well.
Step 3
In a deep bowl, mash the flour with the margarine. Add the sugar, the milk with the yeast, and the milk with the eggs, mixing well with a wooden spoon or mixer on low speed until it forms a sticky dough. Cover and let it rise for about 30 minutes.
Step 4
On a well-floured work surface, divide the dough into 12 parts.
Step 5
Roll each part into a ball and coat it in large pieces of sugar.
Step 6
Bake in a preheated electric waffle maker for 1–2 minutes — I baked them for 5 minutes.
Step 7
Cool on a rack and enjoy the freshly baked waffles with tea or milk.
