Luikse suikerwafels – waffles

Fond memories of the time I lived in Antwerp ! If there was a stall of waffles, impossible to pass by without buying one! Just the smell makes your mouth water. I like the crunchy pieces of pearl sugar and the caramelized ones on the outside of the waffle. Finger-licking delight!

Ingredients.

  • 300g pearl sugar
  • 50 g fresh yeast
  • 500g all purpose flour
  • 150 ml lukewarm water
  • 70 g sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 215 butter
  • Salt

Dissolve the yeast in lukewarm water and pour this into the flour (300g). Add the sugar (70g), the 2 eggs, the butter (15 g) and stir until you obtain a homogeneous dough. Than sprinkle the rest of the flour (200g) on top and add a pinch of salt. Now put the rest of the butter on top and let rest for 15 minutes. Knead very well and only at the end add the pearl sugar. Roll out in a sausage and roll little balls ( more or less 100 g each) Let them rise under a wet towel for an other 15 minutes. Bake in a waffle machine until golden brown. Done. Buon appetito !

Tip. Your waffle machine can be a bit messy ( due to the sugar) for easy cleaning prepare a paste from water and cornstarch and put this paste in your machine it will absorb the caramelized sugar.
