Nice comparison. But the waffles are baked with a to high temperature. Those waffles are not crunchy at the outside. Temperature must be between 175 and 185 Celsius. The slightly melted pearl sugar gives them a crunchy bite, more inside. And they are not dark brown but golden brown. They must be a little soft. Your waffles are burnt. That can be an influence of the taste. In Liege there is the Confrérie de la Gaufre Liégeoise La Strème, they have contests, to determine who makes the best waffles. And they have their own (original???) recipe. But more important, I like your comparison a lot. And for everyone, when making those waffles, try recipes out and what you like the most, use that. I'm from the Netherlands, living not far away from Liege. And even in Liege not all wafflesbackers are the same, some are better, some are less. Then 1, In Belgium and the Netherlands the most used flour is a less "stark" flour, more to use within patisserie then bread making. The most American flours are better for bread. That makes a difference in the product. The less "stark" flour gives a little softer product. That's what these waffles must be. Then 2. I learned from a very good professional person, make first the dough, let it rest (and or rise) and then ad the butter. You have to be sure there are enough gluten in the dough. If you ad the butter (not melted) to soon, it is difficult to get glutennetwork (hope that's the right term in English).

Sorry, but crunchy Liège waffles is too cringy for me. Had to stop watching/listening to the crunching. They should be chewy and the crunch coming from the pearl sugar. I still appreciate the effort you put in and will take a look at the recipes to see the differences.

These look and sound burnt. I read on one recipe that many consumer waffle irons are significantly hotter than the waffle irons used in Belgium. Sugar burns at 375 degrees, so you gotta keep it under that temp. The solution this one found is to unplug the iron after 1 minute, then cook for an additional 3 minutes, but it'll likely vary with each iron. Mine actually has a temperature control, and if I set it to about a medium temp, the sugar does not burn.

I really appreciated this video. Not only is it exactly what I was looking for (which version of these waffles and how/why are they different), but your video is very well done and easy to watch. I went by your recommendation, after having a similar recipe for the 1st time a few weeks ago, and it came out just perfect. I doubled it as to have some for the freezer (which I buried so they don't all get eaten in one day). Looking forward to seeing more from your site. Cheers.

Thank you for this video. I just wanted to try a Liège waffle, so your recommendation of the Lars Own recipe was great since that was the pearl sugar that I purchased and was sitting next to my iPad while hunting for recipes. The results were very tasty! My big question is: How on earth do you clean the waffle maker of all that caramelized sugar? I’ve seen several methods on KZitem, but since you made NINE BATCHES(!) I thought you might have some good insight and tips to share.

Hi! I found my pearl sugar in Sur La Table (just call ahead to confirm they have it). You can probably also order it online--unfortunately I would not recommend making it with regular sugar as the effect is very different. Regular sugar would melt right into the batter and throw off the texture!

Sorry I am from Belgium. I am trying the batter on the Waffles and Dinges recipe but this is way too liquid. This cannot be the Liege Waffle recipe where the batter must be much more compact and sticky. Furthermore the recipe does not indicate the use of the pearl sugar and the procedure does not mention the addition of the vanilla extract. I believe there must be some cinfusion here. The waffles you are showing in the video are burnt and way too crunchy not as the original belgian Liege Waffle which results soft moist and slightly crispy. You should revise the recipe and be more careful when defusing. Thanks and sorry for the remarks.

They sound like croutons when you're eating them. Are they hard and somewhat dry? Is that how they're supposed to be? I've never had a liege waffle which is why I'm asking. Edit: I learned a lot just hearing the descriptions on ingredients/rise and the outcome on taste. Really interesting.

You should really try Bruno Albouze's recipe. I did his liege waffle and it was the most proper one I've ever tasted. Especially his addition of caramel to the mix. Also please turn off 'made for kids' setting on your channel because it doesn't allow people to ring the bell to your video. How did I figure that out? I subscribed and tried ringing the bell ;)

It was on my list of recipes I looked at, but ultimately I eliminated it as it's pretty similar to the Lars Own recipe (just made with water instead of milk, 1 additional egg and far less pearl sugar). I hear great things though!
