Liege Waffle Recipe

By Ben Panny


This particular recipe will offer you the perfect liege waffles you'll find. Looks like you're visiting Belgium with just about every bite of this waffle. This recipe would make ten servings. The dough need to rise perfectly thus assume the dough making process to be slightly bit lengthy. But obviously, the end results are worth every single second and every single ounce of energy.

Ingredients

1 tbsp granulated sugar,

3 tsp active dry yeast,

cup entire milk warmed to 110-115 degrees,

1/3 cup water warmed to 110-115 degrees,

4 Cups flour,

2 Big eggs,

4 Tbsp brown sugar,

1 tsp baking powder,

1 tsp salt,

1 cup butter (2sticks),

2 Tbsp honey,

two Tbsp pure vanilla,

1 cups Belgian Pearl sugar ("Lars Own" is the easiest to locate in the US)

For cinnamon liege waffles: add in 2-3 Tbsp ground cinnamon

Directions

Inside a mixer, pour warm milk, warm water, yeast, as well as 1 cups of flour and process for 3-5 minutes until mixture will have a smooth and sticky texture.

Reserve mixture in a mixer bowl for about 60 minutes. This can rise drastically in the bowl.

At the same time, combine these ingredients in the mixture without mixing them with the ingredients already contained within the mixture (let them remain on top): Remaining three cups of flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, butter, as well as eggs.

Immediately after 60 minutes, stir in vanilla and honey into the mixture/dough. Combine altogether for five minutes. Reserve for around 4 hours at room temperature to allow perfect rising from the dough.

Right after four hours, press the dough down, deflating all of the gases. Place dough in a baking pan or leave it rested inside the mixing container then cover up with butcher paper. Store dough in refrigerator overnight.

The following day take out dough from the refrigerator and incorporate the pearl sugar. Massage manually by hand or make use of a dough hook.

If you wish to add cinnamon, knead in cinnamon right at this time though make sure it's carried out after you've added the pearl sugar.

Split the dough uniformly into ten portions and shape each into ball. Before cooking, let dough balls to sit along with pearl sugar for around 90 minutes

Cook preferably in a liege waffle maker at 365-370 degrees temperature for 2-3 minutes or just until waffles become golden brown along with caramelized pear sugar on the outside

Note: If you're making use of a waffle iron with a slightly increased temperature of 400 degrees, reduce temperature to 300 degrees just after you've located the dough balls in to the scorching iron. This may keep the pearl sugar from burning.

12. Let waffles to cool down to get a handful of minutes just before serving because caramelized pearl sugar might be exceptionally hot.
