Liege Belgian Waffles
Description
Liege Belgian Waffles use instant yeast and milk to activate fermentation, yielding a yeast dough rather than a batter. Flour, sugar, salt, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract create a sticky dough that must rest about an hour to rise and develop flavor. Cooking spoonfuls of dough on a medium-heat waffle iron until golden brown caramelizes the sugars, forming a sweet and slightly crisp crust with a chewy, soft interior.
The resulting waffles are flavorful and texturally distinct from lighter batter-based waffles. They work well for breakfast or dessert and can be enjoyed plain or with toppings like fruit or cream.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp instant yeast
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 5 cup flour
- 6 egg
- 2 cup butter melted
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine yeast, lukewarm milk and two table spoons of sugar into a bowl and let it sit for about 5 minutes, until bubbles appear.
- Combine the flour, reminder of sugar and salt in a separate bowl and make a well in the center. Pour the bubbly yeast mixture into the well and mix until combined. Into the mixture, add eggs, one at a time.
- Add melted butter and vanilla extract to the dough. The dough will turn out sticky. Let the dough sit for about an hour in a warm place or until it doubles in volume.
- Heat the waffle iron to a medium. Place a spoonful of the dough in the middle of a waffle iron and flatten it slightly.
- Cook waffles until they turn golden brown.
