Belgian Waffles

Ahh, our joy and pride. Everybody knows Belgian waffles! But do you really know them?

Because there are 2 different styles of waffles!

Brussels style or "Brusselse wafel"

A big, light, rectangular and crispy waffle. Add a topping to your liking such as sugar, whipped cream, ice cream, nutella, …
By default they don't contain much sugar so a topping is recommended.

My favourite one: Brusselse wafel with powdered sugar.

Liège style or "Luikse wafel"

A smaller, much heavier waffle which contains sugar cristals / chunks that are caramelized when heated.

No toppings are needed, they are sweet as they come.

Which one will you pick? Both?
