This is a brilliant base recipe. To make it emulate the waffles found in food trucks in Brussels and Liege, add brown sugar to either the top or both the top and bottom of the batter when putting it into the waffle maker. This step gives it the golden brown color and that crunchy sugary shell you expect from an authentic Belgian waffle.
Just made them! Used almond milk instead of cow + 1 tablespoon of yogurt. And they taste great!!! My Belgian boyfriend said: approved! 🎉perfect balance of softness and crunchiness.
@@user-op8pf3uf8s Since sugar forms crystal structures it can take all kinds of forms and blends, each having different properties and tastes. Only case where "sugar is just sugar" is after you swallowed it.
Hope i’m right: 7 gr active dry yeast 13 gr white sugar 90 ml lukewarm milk 1 & a half eggs 118 ml melted butter 5 ml vanilla extract 192 gr flour 1.5 gr salt 96 gr pearl sugar
Bless you bro. I visited Belgium from the U.S. when I was 13; I'm in my 30's now, and I've never forgotten how wonderful liege waffles are. They might be the most delicious thing I've ever had. I can't wait to try your recipe to see if I can replicate a melt in your mouth liege waffle.
I love how your videos have gone from: ‘I have no idea what the hell I’m doing’ to ‘oh don’t mind me confidently showing you how to make waffels’. That’s PROGRESS!! 👏🏻
Thank Chiarra! Super appreciate that. Slowly but surely improving with each recipe and video. I really wanted to get these waffles right! Have you made them before?
ANTI-CHEF yeah I can totally see the progress you’re making in the kitchen, and it’s so much fun to watch! I’ve never made Belgian waffles myself, but my dad got a stove top waffle iron maker thingy for christmas and he’s been boasting about how amazing his waffles are (haven’t tried his yet). A Belgian waffle competition might go down soon in the Thijssen household, as my dad and I never say no to a little kitchen show down. I’ll keep you posted!
So happy right now. I can never go back again. I have only ever tried one other recipe that also bragged about itself being “foolproof”. That was a bust. A dense, sad bust. Made these just now while cleaning my oven and entertaining my 3 year old, and they are a hit. So happy! All of us. ☺️ Thanks! Xoxo
@@antichef I guess it's mostly intended for tourists, because it looks more appetizing. I am from Belgium myself, and when I was young, I wasn't aware that they put toppings on Liège waffels, it just wasn't done.
This recipe is the real deal! Crunchy crust, chewy crumb and loads of flavour... just like the host said, you won’t need any toppings to enjoy these beauties (although they are great with some whipped cream, too!). They seriously reminded us of the delicious waffles we’ve had when visiting Ghent. Well done and thank you for sharing this recipe! This really made our day and finally convinced us to purchase a waffle maker.
I made these this morning just doubled the rise time and let rise again after adding the pearl sugar. They're delicious!!! The best waffles I've ever had in my life.
I made this 3 times: once when I was in Romania back home and 2 times living in another country. I can tell you that th recipe is very accurate and good and that the pearl sugar is everything. I also use to think it's not when I used normal sugar in Romania, but the pearl one really adds a crunch. Also, I saw that the flour is also suuuper important. In Romania and where I live now I always got the normal cheapest flour. I realised that the one back home was 2 times more absorbant than the one where I am right now. So in order to get that dense texture and feeling, where I live now I had to add almost double the quantity of flour, otherwise it would have been fluffy, not dense.
This recipe is genious! Made myself a sugar free version by replacing the sugar with erithrit powder. It tastes so much like the waffels I had in Belgium and now I can eat even more of them!
easy recipe and good results. If you're on the low-sugar side of life, I suggest reducing the pearl sugar at least to 100gr. I still put 100gr and it was too much, so next time I'll be doing 70.
I rarely comment but this recipe is too amazing. Made it ten times and I will never make any other waffle again. I unfortunately have to order the pearl sugar online. But boy is it worth it...
I just made this waffle now. It’s legit! Sooo tasty just the real deal. Thank you for sharing. In Sweden we have small size sugar pearls. We call them sugar pearls. It works great too🫶
I made these and they came out to be the BEST WAFFLES my family and I ever ate. 😊 This one's definitely going in the recipe box. Dont worry 😉 I'll write that it's your recipe on the card. Thanks
I made a double batch today, it made 10 waffles and they were perfect!!! Just like the ones I ate in Belgium. I'm so excited to have this recipe on hand!! Thank you!!!
Those sound amazing! Just looked up pearl sugar, as I had no idea it even existed, and found it on Amazon. Copied the recipe and plan to make this some time. Now, where's my old waffle iron?
I lived in Belgium and was looking for a proper waffle recipe to make it at home. This one it is the right one! I added brown sugar as didn't have pearl sugar and it tastes delicious!
I've been watching your channel for about 2 months and thought I'd check out your older videos. I'm so happy you made this particular recipe! I've made dozens of batches of waffles, but every "Belgium Waffle" I've tried has never been like this at all. Can't wait to try this recipe!
I made some today for my Mother's Day, because my mom loves Belgian waffles from Taste of Belgium (idk if it is the authentic Belgian waffle), but anyway, she loves it! Thank you for the recipe! It made my mom happy!
As a Belgian ex pat I can confirm the deliciousness and success of this recipe. You can substitute coarse turbinado sugar for a less sweet waffle. Wicked sweet. Like half of the pearl sugar.
I tried your recipe this morning. It taste AMAZING !! This is what I've been looking for waffles, with the pearl sugar caramelized all over it. Sooo gewwdd 🤤 Thanks for sharing the recipe 👍👍
Wow I'm watching this and I see such a huge change between when you were in the apartment before this, and when you got to belgium, your whole demeanor, and way of doing your videos, everything is different. Belgium had quite a good effect on you. And there's a calmness that there was not present before. Amazing what changing the scenery could do for one psyche!!!
今まで何回も色々なレシピでベルギーワッフルを作っては失敗というか納得いかない味でしたが、あなたのレシピで完璧に求めていたベルギーワッフルを作ることが出来ました！！ あなたのレシピに出会えたことを心から感謝しています。 So many times I did try another Belgian waffle recipes. But every time fail. But I found your recipe and I did it!!!! Finally I did it!!!! Thank you sooooo much!!!!! I am so appreciate to you and your recipe!!!! ありがとう😊
this is the best waffle I've ever made! I cooked it only 3 mins tho. and I made so many. Can it be frozen? and how do I get it's crispiness after being frozen?
Honestly, this is the first recipe which I have tried for Liege Waffles - and I don't think I will ever try another! Thank you so much for posting this!
Yo! Been a while. I went back to this video and recipe today. Found Swedish Pearl sugar in the grocery store, it's smaller, the size of pretzel salt, but it worked ins pinch. Also, instant yeast worked just fine 👍🏻
Followed exactly and it turned out great. Thanks. Recommendation: More standardized way of writing the measurement as people are sometimes confused (based on some comments). I will try to reduce the pearl sugar to 1/2 cup next time.
JAMIIIIEEEE!!!!! I just made these waffles. Always heard about them but never had them. THEY WERE EPIC!!!!! even made my own pearl sugar using a recipe off the internet. They didn't stand up completely to the heat but it still worked!! Thank you so much.This is definitely a keeper!!!!🤗🤗🤗🤗
Man I did not know the sugar was mixed in to the dough. I always thought it was just sprinkled on top. Good stuff. You see deserve way more subs. You for sure earned 1 today. Your production value is as good as Josh Weisman IMO. Keep it up, man! Here's to going you just explode! So many of my favorites have blown up over the last year. Hope it's happens to you!
I was just making the dough, but I had to add more flour because it was almost liquid otherwise, I'm letting the dough rest now, in half an hour I'm going to cook it I'm excited 😁😁
I try it today! I reduce the volume of full milk and sugars, come out still very nice! Thank you for your recipe which is different from the other standard yts v
Hello ANTI-CHEF, I've been made various Belgium Waffel recipes, and I'm going to try your recipe soon. Thank you for all recipes you're sharing with the world.
I was looking for something fast and this recipee did more than that! Amazing and easy and fast.. swapped the pearl sugar with some crushed cream candies and the result was bomb👍🏼
Finally someone making authentic Belgian (Liège) waffles! I'm going to share this to all my American acquaintances so they KNOW how to make them yummiest of all yummy treat you find everywhere in our little country.
Wow! Fantastic!!! I made these today and they were amaaaaaziiiiiing!!! Can I ask you if I can make these the night before for next morning? Thank you!! 😊
Thanks for the recipe! We just returned from Belgium and was hoping I could find a good recipe for the Liege Waffles. I will try it out as soon as I get some Belgian pearl sugar.
The pearl sugar adds quite a bit to this. It would work without them, but I’d recommended getting it. Amazon has it, if you’re not in Europe. These taste the same as the deliciousness over here in Belgium!
These turned out fantastic! I made a double batch and froze half. They were perfect reheated in the toaster. What he doesn’t mention is what the Pearl sugar does to your waffle iron. I found a wooden skewer was the ticket for getting caramelized sugar out of all those little squares.
Its an old comment but I've seen people use the frozen dough strait out of the freezer here in Belgium(they were frozen in waffle size). I don't know how they froze them and the recipe is probebly a bit different but you couldn't tell taste wise. I feel a reheated waffle is not the same as a fresch one. Might be worth a try.
Never really liked waffle over pancakes but after eating these I can say for a brief moment they came close to making think perhaps I was wrong. My family and I thank you for uploading this video with the recipe so very simple the hardest part was locating the peal sugar and not burning myself from the melded sugar
I wish I'd seen this video years ago! I lived in Liège and Charleroi for 8 months in my twenties and was shown by a local how to make these. I wrote the recipe down using grams and when I got home to Canada, I struggled to get the recipe right lol. And the recipe was different (and more complex) than your version, so thank you!!! I just need to get my hands on some sucre perlé....
I have taken the plunge and ordered a waffle iron-love Belgium waffles and I’ll be using your recipe as a guide to my first waffle cook keep up the great videos -cheers Walkaboutgeek
To make pearlsugar: 1. Put sugar into a pan 2. Just barely put water in, til it turns to wet slush 3. Heat it up Note: it should get quite thin 4. pull it of the heat when it gets slushy again as water evaporates. Note: If you just end up with a sirup, then add more sugar to saturate and begin crystalization 5. Let it cool and dry 6. Beat the chunks of sugar into the perfect sized chunks Voila
I appreciate the effort you put into editing this video. You have the only Belgium waffle recipe that I think is legit on RUclips. I didn't look very hard, but that's not important. Awesome recipe, subscribing to your channel
I skipped the pearl sugar part because I didnt have it but later found out I should have just substituted it with normal sugar but other than that it came out amazing😁thanks for the recipe
Nice, I bet you could also get stellar results using coconut palm sugar instead of pearl sugar, that comes in super dense hard blocks and cutting it into small chunks. Most Asian stores sell it and it has a much richer flavor than regular white sugar. I'm convinced I can make a better Liege waffle than the Belgians, through experimentation using better ingredients. My experience with bread making has taught me a slower, longer, ferment using less yeast yields much better flavor, so I'm pretty sure a 12-24 hr ferment, and no kneading, will produce a superior waffle. Experimenting with different types of yeast, maybe even brewing yeast could potentially add even better flavor than standard store bread yeast. Lots of fun ideas to play with here...
I think you could get around experimenting with a lot of this recipe. Or if you have some sourdough starter you could throw it in too! Pearl sugar is so gooood tho!
Wow, my waffels came out amazing. Thans for your easy recipe. Can you please let me know how to replace pearl sugar with normal sugar. Aparaently it is tough to find pearl sugar in Netherlands.
This is a brilliant base recipe. To make it emulate the waffles found in food trucks in Brussels and Liege, add brown sugar to either the top or both the top and bottom of the batter when putting it into the waffle maker. This step gives it the golden brown color and that crunchy sugary shell you expect from an authentic Belgian waffle.
Great tip! Worked a treat 😋
you sir thank you
thanks for your tip! I tried this out yesterday and they came out amazing 😋
Thank you for mentioning this! They turned out delicious!
Just made them! Used almond milk instead of cow + 1 tablespoon of yogurt. And they taste great!!! My Belgian boyfriend said: approved! 🎉perfect balance of softness and crunchiness.
I made them without the pearl sugar and they were perfect for sweet and savoury toppings. Easy recipe, crispy outside, fluffy inside, 10/10
Then, it's just a good waffle but not a "gaufre de Liège"... 😁
For those who can’t find Pearl sugar, I smashed some cubed sugar. It’s not perfect but it works to have little chunks.
They are available on Amazon US.
@@JulesMoyaert_photo And Walmart....just ordered some from LARS.
I appreciate the pearl sugar, people fail to realize that it's one thing that makes this waffle "THAT WAFFLE"
totally!!! it's a game changer, it elevates the entire thing!
It's just sugar... Sugar us sugar is sugar
@@user-op8pf3uf8s Since sugar forms crystal structures it can take all kinds of forms and blends, each having different properties and tastes. Only case where "sugar is just sugar" is after you swallowed it.
Yeah it really is! You know it’s a Belgian waffles when you see the pearl sugar! I miss them!
I'm not ordering pearl sugar just for waffles that im going to make randomly once. The waffles will be just fine without.
Hope i’m right:
7 gr active dry yeast
13 gr white sugar
90 ml lukewarm milk
1 & a half eggs
118 ml melted butter
5 ml vanilla extract
192 gr flour
1.5 gr salt
96 gr pearl sugar
Think he means half of the 7g packet?
It pisses me off when I love a recipe video but it’s in Imperial. Thank you for the conversion Lazuca!

Made my day! Love hearing that. I make these often and they are totally foolproof!
Where was I the last two years?!
THESE ARE PERFECT
I've tried so many recipes and THIS IS THE ONE.
I like this guy. He actually enjoys waffles without icecream and chocolate. Finally someone else.
It’s a sin to eat Liège waffle with toppings. I don’t get it. Sugar already in it.
Brussels waffles are acceptable for toppings. That’s it.
@@antichef I guess it's mostly intended for tourists, because it looks more appetizing. I am from Belgium myself, and when I was young, I wasn't aware that they put toppings on Liège waffels, it just wasn't done.

American style with butter and syrup is sickening

Exactly! Seems to be the same exact thing from what I can tell.

Tried it today for breakfast and it came out awesome !!

I have a question. How many eggs you use in this recipe. I don't know what's 1,5 eggs.
I used 1 and a half eggs for 5 waffles. 2 small eggs could work

1 hole egg + 1 yolk, correct?
Hi Jamie, I would like to know the kind of flour you use, is it T54?😊

they use to sell these waffles in school; they’re the best and like no other
I skipped the pearl sugar part because I didnt have it but later found out I should have just substituted it with normal sugar but other than that it came out amazing😁thanks for the recipe
What if you don’t want to be biting into clumps of sugar?
Then don't have to put them in, you can instead place a little brown sugar on top of each ball of waffle mixture to give it a nice caramelised effect
Nice, I bet you could also get stellar results using coconut palm sugar instead of pearl sugar, that comes in super dense hard blocks and cutting it into small chunks.

My experience with bread making has taught me a slower, longer, ferment using less yeast yields much better flavor, so I'm pretty sure a 12-24 hr ferment, and no kneading, will produce a superior waffle. Experimenting with different types of yeast, maybe even brewing yeast could potentially add even better flavor than standard store bread yeast. Lots of fun ideas to play with here...
I think you could get around experimenting with a lot of this recipe. Or if you have some sourdough starter you could throw it in too! Pearl sugar is so gooood tho!
My go to waffles
Wow, my waffels came out amazing. Thans for your easy recipe. Can you please let me know how to replace pearl sugar with normal sugar. Aparaently it is tough to find pearl sugar in Netherlands.
