Gaufres de Liège
Liège Waffles
Chewy, sweet, and rich yeast-leavened waffles made with pearl sugar, characteristic of the city of Liège. Perfect for a decadent breakfast or dessert.
🧂 Ingredienser
- 500 g All-purpose flour
- 7 g Active dry yeast
- 150 ml Warm milk(about 40-45°C (105-115°F))
- 50 g Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 150 g Unsalted butter(softened)
- 150 g Pearl sugar (sucre perlé)
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
👨🍳 Fremgangsmåde
- 1
In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk with a pinch of sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- 2
In a large bowl, combine flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center.
- 3
Pour the yeast mixture, eggs, and vanilla extract into the well. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- 4
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until it starts to become smooth. Gradually add the softened butter, kneading until fully incorporated and the dough is elastic (about 8-10 minutes).
- 5
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
- 6
Gently punch down the dough. Fold in the pearl sugar and vanilla extract until evenly distributed. Be careful not to crush the pearl sugar too much.
- 7
Heat your waffle iron (preferably a Belgian waffle iron with deep pockets) according to manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease if necessary.
- 8
Portion about 1/2 cup of dough for each waffle. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and caramelized. The pearl sugar will melt and create a delightful crisp exterior.
- 9
Serve warm, plain or with your favorite toppings like whipped cream, fruit, or chocolate sauce.
💡 Professionelle Tips
- ✓Pearl sugar is crucial for the authentic texture and caramelization. If unavailable, you can try using coarse sanding sugar, but the result will differ.
- ✓Do not overwork the dough after adding the pearl sugar, as this will break down the sugar crystals.
- ✓These waffles are best enjoyed fresh off the iron.
