Liege Waffle Recipe

Liege Waffles are rich, sweet and stretchy. Their crunchy caramelized outside and the chewy inside make them a decadent treat.

They are easier to make than their name sounds and they will quickly become a favorite in your home.

What are Liege Waffles made of?

Liege waffles are made with yeast. Rather than a batter like the one you use for pancakes, these waffles are made with a rich stretchy dough similar to bread dough.

Liege Waffle Ingredients

For these waffles you will need yeast, sugar, eggs, flour, butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract and Belgian Pearl Sugar.

Belgian Pearl sugar is a coarse, chunky white sugar crystal that melts at high temperature. This is the key ingredient in liege waffles and will give them that caramelized outside texture.

You can find Belgian pearl sugar online or at gourmet specialty food stores.

Toppings and pairings

One of my favorite toppings for these waffles are strawberries and Nutella, you can’t go wrong with berries and chocolate, right?

But these are decadent with pretty much any fruit (I’m thinking of you bananas!) and whipped cream, fruit spreads, dulce de Leche or any other topping you can think of.

These waffles are the perfect way to elevate your brunch game, they are also great on a waffle bar or just went you want to impress your guests with your cooking skills.

As fancy as they sound, these waffles are super easy to make. Takes only 10 minutes to whip the batter and a couple of hours of patience as you let the dough rest.

I make mine in a mini waffle maker and I love that is the perfect size for them. These are very rich waffles so you want to make smaller size portions.

How to store them

These freeze really well in a ziplock, so they are the perfect make-ahead breakfast. To reheat, simply pop them in the toaster or air fryer for a couple of minutes to warm them up.

I hope you enjoy these waffles as much as I do! They are a Sunday brunch staple in our household.
