Would you rather remove everyones life support or remove belgian waffles

And also one of the greatest injustices if you order one in America. The US wouldn't know a a real 'belgian' waffle if it smacked them in the face. The nearest comparison might be Dutch pannekoek, but still nothing close to a firm Liege waffle.

They are actually Luikse Wafels or Gaufre de Liège. Brussels Wafels are square, lightier dough.

I prefer the Luikse version. Enjoy!

Jesus you know you waffles. Maybe you could teach me about all the different types lmao

Don't get me started (as a Belgian I can start about chocolate, Fries or beer as well!) 🥳

You might want to translate these from Dutch in to English though I think most Belgians without the well known cooking book "Ons kookboek van den boerinnenbond/kvlv") would end up with these recipes:

At least this one doesn't have cheese, chicken and other rubbish on/in them. But I got downvoted heavy, last time I dared to critique those things on so called Belgian waffles (which they weren't)

As another Belgian, I approve of those waffles. Looks great!

It is very un-Belgian to get pissed for such thing. I do approve of your waffles to.

They look fantastic.

I was actually trying baking Belgian Waffles for the first time yesterday. It went pretty bad. Didn't come out crusty at all, not fluffy either. Did you achieve those consistencies? If so, could you share the recipe?

2

Substantial_carrots OP t1_iudvnze wrote

Hello. It was very fluffy but if you are trying to achieve crispy waffles the. You have too cook them at a VERY high heat. :)

gummmi t1_iudvwzp wrote

Ahh, maybe the iron doesn't get hot enough. But bunch of extra sugar won't make a difference then?

2

Rags2Rickius t1_iuf16qx wrote

I made & sold liege waffles professionally for years

The iron should be very hot - just below smoking

This helps to caramelise/melt the pearl sugar

The dough will be very similar to a brioche dough

Spent a couple of years, on and off, living at the Royal Windsor (now the Warwick). One of my favorite treats after dinner was to walk to the Grand Place and get a liege at the Australian ice cream shop. No toppings, pure heaven

Defuq is a 'Belgian waffle'? We have Liège Waffles (big Sugar lumps, heavy dough) and Brussels Waffles (mega crispy, airy inside, yeasty taste). This does't look like any of the two.

PTMD25 t1_iufq3jp wrote

Fun fact, Belgian Waffles are an American invention. What you have made are called Liege Waffles. Dense, walk around street food waffle generally eaten with just powdered sugar if anything at all. Brussels Waffles are a lighter, fluffier, dessert type waffle, that you generally eat with a syrup or fruit topping.

Source: Trust me bro, I spent 6 days in Brussels on my honeymoon, and while what I said is true, who gives a shit? Your Belgian Waffles look great, and I now wish I had some.
