While both types use similar ingredients, shape and consistency are different, although both retain that crispy exterior and soft, airy inside.
Originating from the city of Liège, the Liege waffle is oval. The dough is mixed with pearl sugar, and often baked with added fruit or chocolate chips inside and a sweet sugary outside. Designed to be eaten with the fingers, they are naturally sweet and very popular with locals and visitors who want to enjoy a snack while on the go.
Although the Liege waffle is a favourite snack in Belgium, it is the square or rectangular Brussel’s waffle you find pre-wrapped in small stores and supermarkets across other European countries.
The Brussel’s waffle is designed more as a sweet, and usually served with a range of toppings such as chopped fruits, sauces and thick cream or ice cream.
