Originally created in the 18th century in Liege, Belgium, the Liege waffle is one of two types of Belgian waffles, the other type being the Brussels waffle. In the states, Brussels waffles are much more popular and widely served from chain eateries to more upscale establishments. It is because of their popularity and prevalence throughout eateries in the states that they have become synonymous with Belgian waffles, leaving the other half of the story, Liege waffles, in the dark and often forgotten. Those who are familiar with Liege waffles usually know of their existence because they have either traveled to Europe (where Liege waffles are much more popular) or are avid dessert foodies who do their research and actively seek out unique food items. The differences between Liege and Brussels waffles are in their ingredients, equipment used, and preparation techniques. At first glance, it is very noticeable that Liege waffles are made from a richer dough, compared to the traditional batter used to make Brussels waffles. A key ingredient to Liege waffles is Belgian pearl sugar. When preparing the waffle dough, the pearl sugar is thoroughly mixed for a uniform distribution. When heated in a waffle iron, which must have very specific temperature controls as well as dedicated Liege waffle iron plates, the large pearl sugar pieces caramelize, producing a slightly crispy exterior and leaving the center soft, chewy, and delicately warm. Because of the pearl sugar and other sweet ingredients in the dough, Liege waffles are often enjoyed plain with a dusting of powdered sugar, although toppings like Nutella, Speculoos (a Belgian biscuit spread that tastes like ginger snaps), fresh fruit, whipped cream, and ice cream are always a welcome addition.
