Special thanx to Starlore for inspiring me to make this my "other" last thread There are so many kinds of waffles, and waffles for different Ocasions that i figured i should seperate all the "official waffle guides" The Liège waffle (from the city of Liège, in eastern Belgium) is a waffle usually bought and eaten warm on the street. They are usually freshly made in small shops, but it is also possible to buy them in supermarkets. They are smaller, sweeter and denser than "Belgian waffles". The last-minute addition of nib sugar to the batter produces a caramelized sugar coating. This gives a distinctive flavor. Most are served plain, but some are vanilla or cinnamon flavored, and can be served with toppings like fruits, creams, and chocolate. The Liège waffle was invented by a cook of the prince-bishop of Liège in the 18th century. That my friends, is the pinnacle of desert waffles. This Liege Waffle Recipe comes from tadaaaa – the city of Liege in Belgium. Again the Liege waffle recipe is almost the same as the ordinary Belgian waffle recipe, just sweeter. Liege waffles are also smaller, so you can hold them in your hands. To make Liege waffles you have to add some extra vanilla sugar (What is vanilla sugar? – it is vanilla scented sugar. You can even make your own if you put a whole vanilla bean in a jar of white sugar for a week or so.) Liege waffles are a bit denser and also sweeter. A little piece of history before we start cooking, yeah it is always fun to learn new things – Liege waffles were invented in eighteenth century by one of the cooks of Prince-Bishop of Liege. Liege Waffle Recipe For a Liege Waffle recipe we will need: 2 cups flour 1 cup pearl sugar 1 cup melted butter 3 eggs 1 (1/4 ounce) package yeast 1/3 cup lukewarm water 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar (add some vanilla sugar) 1/8 teaspoon salt How to make Liege Waffles in nine easy steps: 1. Take the lukewarm water and mix in yeast, 1 1/2 tablespoon sugar and salt. Let the yeast develop for 15 minutes. In the meanwhile you can melt the butter, but be careful - do not burn it. 2. Now take a large bowl and put in the flour, make a hole in the middle, pour in the yeast that you made in step one. Also add eggs and melted butter and knead until you get nice and even dough. Then let it rest so the yeast does it's magic and the dough doubles. 3. Now take pearl sugar and gently mix it in. 4. Again, let it rest for 15 minutes, in the meanwhile you can turn on the affle maker so its nice and hot. 5. All there is left is to pour the waffle dough into the waffle maker and bake for 3-5 minutes. Because we mixed in the sugar late in the process it will melt and caramelize and give that special Liege waffle taste. Just be careful when you take them out of the waffle maker, caramelized sugar can make them sticky. 6. Enjoy!! more to come... -BW(i thought maby i should try and liven this place up, draggin u punks outa that goddam post ur pic thread. EDIT:And another special thanx to August West
