A Belgian waffle is a type of waffle that originated in Belgium. It is known for its light, crispy exterior and soft, fluffy interior. Typically larger and thicker than other waffles, it features deep pockets that can hold toppings like syrup, whipped cream, and fruit. Belgian waffles are often served as a breakfast dish or dessert. They can be made using a variety of batters, including yeast-based or batter made with baking powder. Popular variations include the Liège waffle, which is denser and sweeter, and the Brussels waffle, which is lighter and crispier.
