Liege Belgian Waffles

I'm surprised it has taken me this long to make these waffles! I first experienced this style of crunchy caramelized waffle at The Waffle Window in Portland.  It was a life changing experience. Anyways, the secret to these waffles is Belgian pearl sugar.


This brand- available online- makes life easy and includes a recipe on the back.  It didn't however give you info on how many waffles the recipe makes.  It made I think 5 waffles-but giant and rich. You could definitely split in half. 

Another secret ingredient was yeast. Just mix into warm milk, then incorporate into flour mixture. 


Then you let the dough rise for about 30 minutes and it should double in size. 

I covered it- which was it mentioned in the recipe, but I felt like it is part of the normal procedure in letting dough rise. 
While we wait for the dough to rise.. Just thought I would showcase my new table cloths that my grandma made for me before they became covered in maple syrup.


Ok dough has risen. Last step is to mix in the pearl sugar. 


These came out really good!  Crunchy exterior that stayed crunchy even after they cooled down.


Brunch success! Waffle weekend!
