Belgian waffles are a type of waffle that originated in Belgium. They are known for their light, airy texture and deep pockets, which make them perfect for holding toppings like syrup, whipped cream, and fresh fruit. Traditionally, they are made from a batter that includes flour, eggs, sugar, and baking powder. There are two main types of Belgian waffles: the Brussels waffle and the Liège waffle. The Brussels waffle is larger and lighter, while the Liège waffle is denser and sweeter, often containing chunks of sugar. Both varieties are popular in many countries and are enjoyed as a delicious breakfast or dessert.
