Belgian Waffles

First, you must realize there are two types of waffles in Belgium. They are both delicious, but very different. So, let’s compare & contrast the Brussels waffle and the Liège waffle.

Brussels-

  • Light & fluffy
  • Batter is easy to make

Liège-

  • Denser
  • Sweeter 
  • Made with a thicker dough
  • Ends can be carmalized due to pearl sugar 

I prefer the Liège style as it is delicious on its own. You don’t need any toppings, but many tourists will opt for powdered sugar, fruit. Nutella or even ice cream. 

Brussels waffles are typically decorated with toppings at tourist stands around any Belgian city. In most baking classes, this is the style you will make because the Liège waffle batter takes hours to prep.

Should I sign up for a cooking class?

You may be debating whether or not to spend your precious time in a cooking class. Trust me- I get it. On a previous trip, I opted out of a croissant class in Paris and sent my kid with a friend instead. They had the best time, and I truly regretted not going. Here’s why I think it is worth the time & money-

  • authentic experience
  • perfect for those who love hands-on activities
  • great for a rainy day or a cold weather day
  • learn more about the culture of Belgium and the history of waffles
