Liege Waffle Recipe
Another waffle from Belgium. These guys really know their waffles. This Liege Waffle Recipe comes from tadaaaa – the city of Liege in Belgium. Again the Liege waffle recipe is almost the same as the ordinary Belgian waffle recipe, just sweeter. Liege waffles are also smaller, so you can hold them in your hands while Brussels waffles are eaten from a plate with a fork and knife. To make Liege waffles you have to add some extra vanilla sugar (What is vanilla sugar? – it is vanilla scented sugar. You can even make your own if you put a whole vanilla bean in a jar of white sugar for a week or so.) Liege waffles are a bit denser and also sweeter. A little piece of history before we start cooking, yeah it is always fun to learn new things – Liege waffles were invented in eighteenth century by one of the cooks of Prince-Bishop of Liege. I bet you did not know that, we sure didn't.Liege Waffle Recipe
For a Liege Waffle recipe we will need:
2 cups flour
1 cup pearl sugar
1 cup melted butter
3 eggs
1 (1/4 ounce) package yeast
1/3 cup lukewarm water
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar (add some vanilla sugar)
1/8 teaspoon salt
How to make Liege Waffles in nine easy steps:
1. Take the lukewarm water and mix in yeast, 1 1/2 tablespoon sugar and salt. Let the yeast develop for 15 minutes. In the meanwhile you can melt the butter, but be careful - do not burn it.
2. Now take a large bowl and put in the flour, make a hole in the middle, pour in the yeast that you made in step one. Also add eggs and melted butter and knead until you get nice and even dough. Then let it rest so the yeast does it's magic and the dough doubles.
3. Now take pearl sugar and gently mix it in.
4. Again, let it rest for 15 minutes, in the meanwhile you can turn on the waffle maker so its nice and hot.
5. All there is left is to pour the waffle dough into the waffle maker and bake for 3-5 minutes. Because we mixed in the sugar late in the process it will melt and caramelize and give that special Liege waffle taste. Just be careful when you take them out of the waffle maker, caramelized sugar can make them sticky.
6. Enjoy!!
This is the end of the Liege waffle recipe. Bon appetit!

Hi, just tried this recipe. Waffles were superb. But was a bit confused by the instruction to knead in steps 3 & 4. In step 3, the mixture does not have enough liquid to come together, so I added more water until it was. You then end up with a bread mix, to which it is then impossible virtually to add eggs/butter. I managed eventually with the aid of an electric mixer!! anyway, like I say, they came out great, but should I end up with a bread mixture at the end of step 3 or not. If the requirement is to mix the yeast around the flour as best as possible, it might be better to reword the instruction?

Hello Keith, we see how the instructions could be miss understood, steps 3 and 4 are actually a part of the same step - you also add eggs and butter while you are kneading. Anyway, we joined 3. and 4. so things are clearer :)
I just made this recipe, and it was good. I didn't have pearl sugar so I used a turbinado sugar instead, and it seems to have worked alright.
