TNT "belgian" waffles

[Sabrine]

I’ve often heard about “belgian waffles” but you can say that there are no belgian waffles but a whole bunch of varieties. Each major town or so own her recipe. Some have a very light structure like waffles from Brussel these ones are eaten hot with cream and sugar and sometimes fresh fruit it is delicious . I’ll give you the recipe as soon as i’ll translate it.


[FONT=&quot][/FONT]The one I’m giving you is the recipe of the waffles from Liege . the dough looks like a brioche dough and in fact it is a sort of brioche dough .



I use metric system . I'm not too familiar with US standards . I hope I did not mistakes when i converted. I have let the metric measurement so you can correct if needed


Liège’s Waffles
500 g flour (3 1/3 cups)
3 eggs
30 g fresh yeast (you can use dry instant yeast )
1 cup tepid milk
200 g butter (1 cup)
250 g coarsed sugar (1 cup)
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tps salt

In a bowl combine milk and yeast until yeast is dissoveld. Stir in eggs vanilla extract and flour . Add flour until soft dough is formed . Knead about 10 to 15 (I use a food processor ) Add butter softened and knead until butter is well incorporated. Add Coarsed sugar. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover and let rise for 1 hour and half or until the dough double in size. Deflate the dough and divide in small balls (about 2 1/3 oz each one ) cook in hot iron .

Welcome to DC, Sabrine. Thank you for sharing the recipe and the pic with us. How unique. My experience has always been with a batter, but never a dough. Another was potato waffles. My first taste of a "belgium" waffle was at the World's Fair, and I've been in love with them ever since.

Yes there is waffles that have batter like waffles from Brussels . the batter is like pancakes batter and the result give a very light waffle but you have to eat as soon as you bring it out the iron. There another variety of waffles that have a batter like cakes. These waffles are smaller in size and used to be done (made?) and offered for the new year


I hope I'm understandable .I did not practice english for years, last time was probably in the age of bronze

Hi Sabrine, thanks for the great recipe, I really didn't know there were many variations to the waffles made in Belgium. This one above looks really good, I wish I could find a waffle iron in Italy, which I have never seen as yet here in Rome...

I had this type of waffles often in Holland, they were very popular there, too... Lidl carry a prepackaged version of this, but well... as you can imagine not quite the same thing....
