Compared with its Brussels cousin, the Liège waffle has the advantage of big chunks of sugar in the dough. Another type to try is the galette, which looks like a waffle, but has a finer, softer texture. They are usually eaten at breakfast.
How is a Liège waffle made?
According to legend, the Prince-Bishop of Liège’s cook created the recipe because his master had explicitly ordered a pastry containing large chunks of sugar. The cook tried baking a dough mixed with sugar in a waffle iron. The Prince liked it, and the recipe was copied throughout the region.
