Liège waffles (traditional method & Thermomix)
Description
Liège waffles are not light... but they are absolutely irresistible! My son recently reminded me that I hadn't made any for nearly a year. And yet, outside his school in Brussels, there's a van selling them - at €3.50 each! Homemade, they only cost around €0.40 per waffle, and they're infinitely better: caramelised crust, soft centre, generous butter. No need for whipped cream or chocolate: they're good enough on their own. Fresh from the waffle iron or reheated in the toaster, they're a hit with everyone.
THE STEP-BY-STEP THERMOMIX VIDEO RECIPE HERE.
You will find the recipe for Brussels waffles also on the Blog. Very different: airy, light and crisp to perfection.
