Ingredients: flour, yeast, milk, eggs, butter, pearl sugar (Liège), vanilla, salt, strawberries, whipped cream, chocolate (to serve). Recipe: 1) Make a rich yeast dough; rest until doubled. 2) Knead in pearl sugar for Liège, or fold whipped whites for Brussels batter. 3) Bake in a screaming-hot heavy iron until deep gold and crisp. 4) For Liège, let the sugar spots caramelise hard. Serve: warm, plain (the Liège way) or crowned with strawberries, cream and chocolate. Flavor: buttery, caramel-crisped, airy or chewy by city. History: waffle irons appear in medieval Europe; Belgian waffles conquered America at the 1964 New York World's Fair. See also: Speculoos, Moules-frites.
