Recipe for Classic Liege Waffles

By Ben Panny


This recipe can offer you the finest liege waffles you may find. Seems like you are back in Belgium with every bite of this waffle. This recipe would make 10 servings. The dough must rise perfectly and so assume the dough making procedure to be somewhat bit time-consuming. However certainly, the outcomes are worth every second and just about every ounce of effort.

Ingredients

1 tbsp granulated sugar,

three tsp active dry yeast,

cup whole milk warmed to 110-115 degrees,

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

four Cups flour,

2 Significant eggs,

4 Tbsp brown sugar,

1 tsp baking powder,

1 tsp salt,

1 cup butter (2sticks),

two Tbsp honey,

2 Tbsp pure vanilla,

1 cups Belgian Pearl sugar ("Lars Own" may be the easiest to find in the US)

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

Directions

In a mixer, pour warm milk, warm water, yeast, along with 1 cups of flour and blend for 3-5 minutes until mixture end up with a smooth and sticky consistency.

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

Meanwhile, add these ingredients in the mixture without mixing them along with the ingredients already contained in the mixture (allow them to sit on top): Remaining three cups of flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, butter, and also eggs.

After 60 minutes, stir in vanilla and honey in to the mixture/dough. Blend entirely for five minutes. Set aside for about 4 hours at room temperature to enable best rising from the dough.

Right after 4 hours, press the dough down, removing all of the gases. Put dough inside a baking pan or leave it rested inside the mixing container and after that cover with butcher paper. Keep dough in fridge overnight.

The following day take away dough from the fridge and add the pearl sugar. Massage manually by hand or make use of a dough hook.

If you want to add cinnamon, fold in cinnamon right now though make sure this is executed after you've added the pearl sugar.

Split the dough uniformly into ten parts and shape each into ball. Prior to cooking, let dough balls to sit together with the pearl sugar for approximately 90 minutes

Bake preferably in a liege waffle iron at 365-370 degrees temperature for 2-3 minutes or only till waffles become golden brown with caramelized pear sugar around the outside

Note: If you are using a waffle iron with a slightly increased temperature of 400 degrees, lower temperature to 300 degrees just after you've set the dough balls into the scorching iron. This can prevent the pearl sugar from burning.

12. Allow waffles to cool down to get a handful of minutes before serving due to the fact caramelized pearl sugar will probably be incredibly hot.
