But then, there is the Belgian Waffle. This one is a game-changer. This one will make you fly all the way to Belgium just for this.
There are two kinds of Belgian Waffles; the Brussels Waffle and the Liege Waffle. Brussels waffles are made with a thing yeast-leavened butter, which makes them lighter and their appearance is more rectangular with deeper holes and soft edges. Liege Waffles are made with a butter that is more like bread dough; thick and sticky. The dough contains chunks of sugar and are caramelized with a crispy, crunchy, golden coating.
Make sure to travel to Belgium with an empty stomach and ready to gain a few pounds. They are totally worth it.
