I was actually trying baking Belgian Waffles for the first time yesterday. It went pretty bad. Didn't come out crusty at all, not fluffy either. Did you achieve those consistencies? If so, could you share the recipe?

Hello. It was very fluffy but if you are trying to achieve crispy waffles the. You have too cook them at a VERY high heat. :)

Ahh, maybe the iron doesn't get hot enough. But bunch of extra sugar won't make a difference then?

I made & sold liege waffles professionally for years

The iron should be very hot - just below smoking

This helps to caramelise/melt the pearl sugar

The dough will be very similar to a brioche dough
