Tried it today but without pearl sugar..instead i rolled my dough on a regular white sugar before putting it in the waffle iron... and boom came out perfectly..i ain't going back to regular waffle from now on..the caramelized sugar crunchiness hit me so hard..
Yeah but using the pearl sugar isn’t going to ruin it, but I ended up using sugar cubes that I hit with a meat tenderizer a few times, used half the sugar the recipe called for and I did have some caramelization, but I’ve had the store-bought ones and those definitely have a nicer caramelized crunch to them, so I ended up ordering some of the pearl sugar but either way they do come out great and going back to regular waffles is no longer an option 😂
This is the real deal. Tastes just like authentic waffles in Belgium. I've been searching for this recipe for years and finally found it. Thanks for sharing. I can never go back to "fake" North American waffles again. LOL. Folks, if you are trying this recipe for the first time, do not skip the pearl sugar. It won't be the same without it.
North American waffles are not trying to be Belgium waffles. They are a breakfast food and are lighter with less sugar. Meant to be served with syrup like pancakes. You're comparing apples to oranges.
I prefer to make the pearl sugar. I mean sugar is cheap as heck (like one cent an ounce) so I didn’t feel like buying pearl sugar that’s 3 times more expensive. You can mix powdered sugar with a bit of water and put it through a grater, then leave it to dry. Works great!
My mouth is wateringggg, I had these at a professional brunch and it changed my life. 😩 Randomly up past midnight searching how to make those "sugar crusted waffles" that's how I found you 😂
You can make pearl sugar either seizing a sugar & water mixture, like when you ruin caramel, but take it out before it re-liquifies if that makes sense. Also can mix powdered sugar & a little water into a sort of dough, then clump into tiny pieces, let dry for 24hrs & you're good. For those of us who can't find it at the local store & too impatient for Amazon. 😁
This is my very first time making Belgian waffle ever. I bet on this recipe and it was a success on first try. This recipe yields fluffy, light on the inside, crispy on the outside. Highly recommend!👍 Thank you for the recipe!🙏
Made it and I was sooooo sceptical because it was my first time and IT WAS AMAZING! The only change I’ll make next time is to get one of those deeper waffle irons and increase the brown sugar. Definitely a keeper!
This is the best recipe I have tried. I was not able to incorporate all the butter, or rather it seemed the butter was all in the batter and then some leaked out. But there's no such thing as too much butter! 😂 The other recipes I have used made a much heavier product. Sometimes there are frozen Liege waffles in the stores with this consistency, kind of something between a cookie and a biscuit, using American terms. Thank you so much for this recipe!
In my house I can’t make them fast enough, they are so freaking good. This recipe is the best. It’s hard to go wrong with butter and sugar. The house smells like baked cheese when they are in the waffle iron but the results are big smiles on faces. We live them.
We made this today and wow soooo good! I’ve tried other recipes like Joshua Weissman’s on youtube but yours were way better. We topped it with chocolate cream, Marscapone cream and berries. This will be my go to from now. Thank you so much!
They are gone as soon as I get them out of the machine!!! I love the recipe!! I dint wait 90 minutes though my daughter want to try them ❤❤❤❤ thank you for sharing
I made this recipe. They are delicious. I had them with syrup, strawberries and whipped cream. I had most of the ingredients. I just had to get the pearl sugar, strawberries and whipped cream.
Ashli Caldwell, I was reading your comment and listening to the video as it played. She said ‘batter’ just as I was reading ‘ ... you always make my day better.“ So, of course, I thought you had made a fun pun and wrote ‘ ... you always make my day ‘batter.’ 😄 Blessings ~
I love Liege waffles. I've never made them myself. I'm so glad you shared this recipe. Now I can add this to my favorites to make for our Sunday family breakfast and/or brunches.
I grew up on these as a kid in Waterloo, Belgium. The pronunciation in the video is just killing me, though. It’s pronounced with two syllables “lee-EHZH”!
Can i make the batter in the evening and make the waffles the next morning? If yes does the dough need to rise first and then go in the fridge or not in the fridge all night?xx
Thank you for this scrumptious recipe; however be careful with a metal fork and a non stick surface (you can inadvertently scrap some of the coating into your food)……AWESOME and well explained recipe….thanks again.
Thank you soooo much for this recipe. Just made them myself and they came out GREAT! Great video as well, nice, relatively short, and sweet just like the waffles!
I guess I'm a bit of a snob. But the city of Liege is pronounced: Lee-ehje. I like to mix my yeast with warm water; then add to the flour, the rest of the dry ingredients, and finally the wet ingredients last. Salt could inhibit yeast activity. That's just me. Anyway, bon appetit!
Omg I'm from liège I feel sooo honord thanks for this beautiful video definitive going to try this recipe Ps: you're the reson why I know how to do chocolate cake 😘
Thank you! We were in Belgium in Nov 2019 and loved this Liege Waffle, we were supposed to go back this April but the trip was canceled so we decided to make one yesterday - SUCCESS! Thank you for sharing!!!
i tried making these and they turned out very dry and brittle. the batter also didnt rise really at all. im wondering if the water temp wasnt right to activate the yeast
I tried this recipe and it is delicious!! Best waffles I've ever had! I was wondering if I could make the batter early and then cook the waffles at a later time?
Voodoo Dolls - yes you can but keep in mind this is a yeast dough and it will overproof if too much time elapses. So you will want to store it in a very cold refrigerator to slow fermentation down to a crawl, and if you are going to wait longer than one day, then freeze the dough. If you freeze, I recommend pre-portioning them into individual waffle balls first.
May I ask a question maam, can I replace brown sugar at the beginning into a white sugar? in my region it's kinda difficult to find a brown sugar, reply me please
I have a waffle maker like this, but when I baked Belgian waffles with pearl sugar, the waffles stuck to the machine. Please, I would like to know how to clean it. The device’s panels are not removable, and the waffle has become sticky, and I have only used it 6 or 7 times.
I followed this recipe as best as I could but after combining all of the ingredients I found that it was simply too runny, it was more of a batter than a dough. I’ve been baking for a while so I believe you used more flour than the description states. Not saying that you’re misleading or lying to your audience but I always use a scale when measuring dry ingredients for more accurate results and therefore 2 cups of flour should be 240g. I scrolled down the comment section and saw you mention in a reply to someone having a similar problem that you measure the flour by simply scooping and pouring. That’s completely fine but I feel like you should adjust the measurement in grams in the description so that others don’t have this problem. It’s still a great and helpful video to watch so you have my thumbs up no matter what!
The metric measurements are always available on my website and there’s always a link in the video description. Less than 10% of my audience uses metric so I do cater to that.
Yeah I figured you measured in cups rather than grams because most people don’t have a scale. Either way the waffles tasted amazing and I’ll probably just tweak the recipe a little bit next time I make them. I did look at the recipe in your website prior to making them but I wasn’t able to find the ingredients in grams? Thank you for taking the time to reply though!
This is a great recipe. The only problem with it is that you don’t let people know how long they should mix the dough for in the stand mixer. Knowing that and it was speed level on your KitchenAid would be most helpful
You should follow the temperature setting recommendations from the manufacturer of your principal waffle maker. Many of them don’t have temperature adjustments and there’s only one automatic heat setting.
I would have liked to see you break one open so we could see the structure inside. Usually these kinds of waffles require a longer (overnight fridge) rise to build up gluten since it's more like a dough rather than a batter.

Every time I find some famous food mediocre I search for the authentic way of making it and it's always WAY better.

Even easier is taking sugar cubes and just crushing it. Exactly what I did and worked great
@@hudsondavis1042Belgian pearl sugar is made from sugar beets so the result won't be the same.
@@Lu-MingPan-b5wTell me why so I’ll understand

Flavor is spot on. Reminds me of the stands I used to buy them from whilst living in the Netherlands (and in Bruges on a most decadent weekend trip.

Thanks! Joshua is great. We tend to go more the style of food that people make on a day-to-day basis. Always great to have so many different options!
@@Thestayathomechef absolutely,agreed.
Honestly didn't know about this type of waffle. Thanks for the quick recap recipe clips at the end!
They are gone as soon as I get them out of the machine!!! I love the recipe!! I dint wait 90 minutes though my daughter want to try them ❤❤❤❤ thank you for sharing
Dear Rachel,, I’m a huge fan ♥️ I’m making these right now and they look gorgeous 🥰 Love from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
I have been looking for this recipe since I left Belgium and decided to check TH-cam as a last resort
I made this recipe. They are delicious. I had them with syrup, strawberries and whipped cream. I had most of the ingredients. I just had to get the pearl sugar, strawberries and whipped cream.
Brilliant! My girls love Waffles and I’ll for sure give this one a try! God bless!
I have no clue what these are, and I don't even have a waffle maker. But it's you and you always make my day better.
Ahh thank you! After watching this video you will know what they are haha (:

Think your family is going to love them!
It’s Liège waffles, not Liege waffles
250g Mehl/All purpose flour
1 ½ TL Brauner Zucker/Brown sugar
2 TL Trockenhefe/Dry yeast
½ TL Salz/Salt
80 ml lauwarmes Wasser/Lukewarm water
3 große Eier/Large eggs
1 TL Vanilleextrakt/Vanilla extract
225 g Butter
190g Hagelzucker/Belgian pearl sugar
Hats geschmeckt ?
Just made these..were picture perfect..just on the lighter side no heavy chew like a liege waffle..but really really delicious.
Glad you like them!
Can someone explain to me why cups are for measuring? It is so inaccurate and confusing. Why not weight or volume?
I would ALWAYS buy these at school in the Netherlands because they're so damn delicious! So glad I found a recipe :D
Hope you like it!
12 waffles from your recipe ! so goood..I have pictures, I put candied fruit, cream, and hazelnut mix on them..!
I do the yeast seperately and i whip the egg whites into peaks first but yeah, this is that good stuff!
So many different types of waffles I’m going to have to try to make this.
Thx again
Hope you do get a chance to make it (: Also feel free to let me know what you think of them after you try them!
The Stay At Home Chef
Hey
I made this morning they were amazing although I could not find pearl sugar in my store so I just used icing sugar
Hello. Did you use salted or unsalted butter?
Question what is the best way to save the dough in the freezer or fridge
My girl flexing on us all yet again with the absolutely INSANE waffle recipe!! WHAT CAN SHE NOT DO?????!!!!
hahahah, thanks!
Tried today 😍 thank you! I was looking for good recipe and yours is great!
So glad!
I grew up on these as a kid in Waterloo, Belgium. The pronunciation in the video is just killing me, though. It’s pronounced with two syllables “lee-EHZH”!
Guess it didn’t work quickly enough!
Well explained. Very nice. Thanks.
Can i make the batter in the evening and make the waffles the next morning? If yes does the dough need to rise first and then go in the fridge or not in the fridge all night?xx
I loved the recap! Thank you for sharing this recipe 😋
OMGOSH!! Holy cow!! Oh, HOLY LIEGE!! Can't wait to make it!! Thank you😋
You are welcome! Hope you like it (:
Praise Jesus.
💜king of LOVE💚
@@Thestayathomechef Thank you for the recipe.

Thank you for this scrumptious recipe; however be careful with a metal fork and a non stick surface (you can inadvertently scrap some of the coating into your food)……AWESOME and well explained recipe….thanks again.
I gotta try these..thank you.
How long do you leave the dough for
Can i make the batter and store in the fridge after the first rise? Want these for breakfast. Thanks in advance!!
How cool! I can't wait to make this when I'm done with my diet! Yum Yum!! ♡
Great recipe. I'd never heard of these. They really look yummy. 🤗
Well you are now in for a treat!! It will be hard to go back to normal waffles after this (:
Very nice. I love recipes where I can use my stand mixer.
Mmm 😋 those waffles look amazing 😍. Never heard of them before until today.
They taste amazing!
They’re very popular in Belgium!
@@sofianascimento1652 thanks for the info, I just learned something new about Belgium❤
❤❤❤beautiful recipe! The cup of butter how many grams please ?
I was wondering, if maybe she made a mistake and meant to say one cube of butter still waiting for an answer from her
Thank you soooo much for this recipe. Just made them myself and they came out GREAT! Great video as well, nice, relatively short, and sweet just like the waffles!
Happy you gave them a try!
I made these today and they were yum!! Only thing was too much butter! Can I put in less butter?
How hard is cleaning up the waffle iron?
I like them dipped in chocolate 😊
I just gave this recipe a try. Is there any reason why my batter is so wet? Havent cooked it yet, just finished proofing and folding in the sugar
My batter was also wet but I went ahead a gave it a try anyways and it came out on point😅
I guess I'm a bit of a snob. But the city of Liege is pronounced: Lee-ehje. I like to mix my yeast with warm water; then add to the flour, the rest of the dry ingredients, and finally the wet ingredients last. Salt could inhibit yeast activity. That's just me. Anyway, bon appetit!
Self awareness is always great if you use it to improve yourself. Keep working at it!
You weren't being a snob at all. Just informative! 😊
Omg I'm from liège I feel sooo honord thanks for this beautiful video definitive going to try this recipe
Ps: you're the reson why I know how to do chocolate cake 😘
Glad you like my cake recipe (: Hope you get a chance to try out these waffles too!
Thank you!

Great to hear that the waffles turned out great (: Hopfully you can make it to Belgium some time soon.
I am a complete idiot in the kitchen, but this recipe worked perfectly!
it looks delicious 😃
Thank you 😋
i tried making these and they turned out very dry and brittle. the batter also didnt rise really at all. im wondering if the water temp wasnt right to activate the yeast
Can I store the dough in fridge
Can I freeze them after?
They sell these for break at my school, warm
I only have a thin waffle house style maker. Will these be ok like that?
Wow.... Ishould make it ❤️😊
Can I leave the dough overnight in the fridge?
Best waffle recipe ever!!!!!
If you premade the dough, any idea how long it would last in the fridge/freezer? Thanks :)
Can the dough be made the night before?
Can it be done with white sugar?
Thanks for the recipe ♡♡
You bet! Hope you like it!

May I ask a question maam, can I replace brown sugar at the beginning into a white sugar? in my region it's kinda difficult to find a brown sugar, reply me please
Beautiful but, we haven´t Belgian pearl sugar in Brazil. Have you one substitute?
You can make your own pearl sugar. Here is a recipe from a friend of mine: bakerbettie.com/pearl-sugar/
Is this really 1 cup butter???
Or 1 cube(1/2 cup)?
Hi whats the brand of your waffle maker? Can you recommend also other brands that can cook those yummy leige waffles..thanks!
There's no need to grease your waffle iron if it's non-stick as the butter in the batter will prevent your waffles from sticking.
What kind/brand of waffle maker are you using? Pls and thanks
If made ahead of time, how long would the batter last in the frig?
what grocery store did you find the pearl sugar at?
I have a waffle maker like this, but when I baked Belgian waffles with pearl sugar, the waffles stuck to the machine. Please, I would like to know how to clean it. The device’s panels are not removable, and the waffle has become sticky, and I have only used it 6 or 7 times.
It’s best to consult the user manual for your specific waffle iron.
That's what I call easy peazy lemon sqeezy 😜
I am wondering if I could replace a bit of water for some lemon juice and also add some poppy seed to this mix?? 🤔
Can i freeze left over dough?
What time is breakfast? Thank You for sharing:)
Could I make this dough the night beforehand
They also taste great savory style with candied bacon, goat cheese & avocado.
Good to know!
Can anyone tell me what this waffle maker is, please? 🙏

What temp do you heat the waffle iron to? I've done regular waffles and added Maple Sugar pebbles, but some of the sugar stays on the iron and burns.
You should follow the temperature setting recommendations from the manufacturer of your principal waffle maker. Many of them don’t have temperature adjustments and there’s only one automatic heat setting.
Can i know how to keep the dough?
Sooooooo gooooooood.. Ty sooooonmuch lol
I make it today. It's very nice and yummy! Good recipe. Thank you!
Delicious
What is the link to that waffle maker? Want to buy one..
look good
Fantastica
Can i replace water with butter milk?
