Li\u00e8ge waffles originated from the city of Li\u00e8ge in Belgium, where they have been a beloved treat for centuries. Made with a brioche-like dough, they\u2019re incredibly soft and buttery, and the pearl sugar within melts slightly, creating a decadent crunch and pockets of rich, caramelized sweetness. Although Li\u00e8ge waffles are perfect on their own, feel free to serve them with any toppings you like.<\/p>\n
Li\u00e8ge Waffles<\/h2>\n
Makes 6 waffles<\/span><\/p>\n In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together 2\u00bc cups (281 grams) flour, granulated sugar, yeast, and salt by hand until combined. Add melted butter, warm milk, egg, egg yolk, and vanilla. Using the paddle attachment, beat at low speed until combined. Add remaining 1 cup (125 grams) flour, and beat until a shaggy dough forms, 3 to4 minutes. (Dough will be very soft but should be smooth and not overly sticky.) Cover and let rest in a warm, draft-free place (75\u00b0F\/24\u00b0C) for 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Turn out dough onto a clean surface, and gently knead in pearl sugar. Divide dough into 6 portions (about 166 grams each).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Heat a Belgian waffle iron according to manufacturer\u2019s instructions, and spray with cooking spray. Lightly flatten 1 portion of dough, and place on prepared iron. Cook according to manufacturer\u2019s instructions until golden brown. Repeat with remaining dough, spraying iron with cooking spray after every other waffle. Serve warm.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
