Did you know?
Liège waffles originated in the city of Liège in Belgium and date back to the 18th century.
They are made with a yeast-based dough enriched with butter and pearl sugar that caramelizes during cooking.
Their unique sweet crunch is from the caramelized pearl sugar that doesn’t dissolve in the batter.
They are traditionally eaten plain or with minimal toppings to enjoy their rich flavor.
Drawbacks ⚠️
High in sugar and saturated fat, which can affect blood sugar and heart health.
