It's actually better than that!!!



The other kind of waffle is the Liège waffle, named after that city (This waffle is also known as the Luikse wafel in Vlaamse and as Lütticher waffeln in German.) It's oblong, more or less oval-shaped, a thinner and smaller waffle than the Brussels waffle. But it's also more substantial, and has a significant crunch due to the small nuggets of parelsuiker or "pearl sugar" that are added to the batter just before baking. These bits of sugar melt when being baked on the waffle iron and caramelize, producing a sugary crust like what's found on top of a creme brulée.





And this is a happy boy!! This is one of Brads favs of summer in Utah.

You can get these hot, sugary bites of heaven at the Farmers Market in SLC.
