Liège Waffles

Liège waffles are a Belgian classic. These waffles differ from regular waffles as they are made from a brioche dough with pearl sugar that melts, creating a delicious, golden surface. Perfect for when you want to make something extra luxurious and truly delightful at home.

• 170 g butter
• 180 g milk
• 25 g sugar
• 1 packet dry yeast
• 440 g all-purpose flour
• 3 g salt
• 10 g vanilla sugar
• 2 eggs
• 200 g pearl sugar

1. Add sugar, dry yeast, all-purpose flour, salt, and vanilla sugar to a stand mixer.
2. Melt the butter. Pour in the milk and let the mixture cool to lukewarm. 
3. Then pour the butter and milk mixture into the mixing bowl and knead the dough together.
4. Add the eggs and continue kneading.
5. Finally, add the pearl sugar and knead until everything is well combined.
6. Turn the dough out onto the counter and divide it into 8 equal portions.
7. Cover and let the portions rest for 30 minutes.
8. Place a portion in the center of the waffle iron and cook until golden.
9. Top with Nutella, whipped cream, and fresh strawberries or other desired toppings.

Serve Liège waffles freshly made while they are still warm and slightly crisp on the outside. They are fantastic on their own but even better with toppings like Nutella, whipped cream, and fresh berries. Whether for a weekend treat, dessert, or a little everyday luxury, these are sure to impress!
