how to make PERFECT BELGIAN WAFFLES

I'm gonna show you how to master the perfect Belgian liege waffle coming up when you think of Belgium , what do you think of waffles ?

Right .

Since I've moved here , I've been trying to figure out how to master the most perfect Belgian liege waffle that matches what I'm tasting out in the street .

Now , I've already made this one .

I can confirm that this tastes authentic .

And believe me , I know what you need to do is get yourself one inexpensive waffle iron .

Super straightforward .

The iron one dial , easy to start things off .

You'll need a small bowl .

The first ingredient is every little kitten's favorite .

Lukewarm milk Sprinkle on the surface .

Some sugar and active dry yeast .

You'll want to have this hang out for 15 minutes until the yeast turns into a soft foam in your milk yeast mixture .

You wanna add melted butter , vanilla extract and some eggs .

Give it a good stir with a whisk until it's all mixed together in a larger bowl .

You wanna add some flour , a pinch of salt and give it a good stir .

What you wanna do is create a well in your flour mixture and then add the liquid mixture into that .

Well , add a bit more , mix it together until it becomes a soft dough .

Put it into a warm place for half an hour until it doubles in size .

You don't wanna put a kitchen towel over top .

Voila .

I'm gonna throw in the oven on the lowest setting possible .

Just gonna have it hang out there for 30 minutes , double in size .

Now we want to add some pearl sugar and I know you're wondering what pearl sugar is .

Well , let me tell you , they are little stones of sugar that are very hard and coarse and can withstand the heat and temperature that is used with baking .

I didn't know what they were until I moved to Belgium .

Now I see them everywhere .

The great thing about pearl sugar is that it stays intact .

So you're biting into these little pebbles of sugar .

Dust off your waffle iron , add some butter with the dough .

The size of a , well , this is in between a golf ball and a baseball and I'm gonna put it directly onto the grill here .

I have them in here for about five minutes , but mostly I keep an eye on it .

It's a visual thing .

Once they start looking something like this .

Nice and golden on the top , it means they're pretty much ready .

Check out all the pearl sugar that withstood the waffle Iron heat .

Those are the true heroes of today .

Yes .

Yeah , it turns out every time this is a foolproof recipe , you can put chocolate on top , you can put sugar on top , you can put syrup on top .

But no , don't do that .

Just eat it as it is .

It's beautiful on its own .

Just like the trucks down the street from where I am right now .
