What Is a Belgian Liège Waffle?
What is a Belgian Liège waffle?
A Belgian Liège waffle is a denser, richer waffle made from a yeast-based dough that takes three days to prepare. Imported Belgian pearl sugar is rolled into the dough, which caramelizes on the iron into a crisp, sweet golden shell while the inside stays soft and warm. Tom's Waffles serves authentic Belgian Liège waffles made from a family recipe passed down from Tom, who ran Waffle Up for years across Colorado. They are served as individual hand-held treats — not flat grid waffles.
What is the difference between a Belgian waffle and a Liège waffle?
Standard Belgian waffles are light, crispy, and made from a batter. Liège waffles are made from a rich yeast dough with imported pearl sugar rolled in, giving them a caramelized, slightly sweet exterior and a soft, brioche-like interior. Tom's Waffles serves authentic Liège waffles — the denser, richer Belgian variety — not standard batter waffles.
