The official La Belle et Le Belge recipe: authentic, simple, and deliciously caramelized.
🔥 Cooking time: ~5 to 6 min
Steps
1 Prepare ingredients and utensils
Ingredients to add to the dry mix:
- 1 egg (brown or white, it doesn't matter)
- 125 ml 3.25% warm milk (not hot, just warm)
- 125 g unsalted butter at room temperature (taken out 30 min before)
Utensils:
- 1 butter knife
- 1 bowl (or mixer/work surface)
- 2 tablespoons
- 1 scale to weigh the butter
- 1 wooden spoon
The bag includes: 1 dry mix + 1 bag of pearl sugar (at step 4).
2 Mix the dough
Pour in the dry mix + liquids (egg, milk). Mix gently (wooden spoon handle / hand / slow speed mixer).
Once combined, add the butter in small pieces. Knead for about 5 minutes until the dough is smooth. If the dough is too liquid, add a little flour.
3 Let it rest
Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
4 Add the pearl sugar
Incorporate the pearl sugar (bag) either by hand, with a wooden spoon, or in the mixer at low speed. Divide into portions of ± 100 g (depending on your waffle maker). Place the dough balls on parchment paper.
5 Second rest
Let rise for 1 hour (covered). Ideal: 24–27°C (otherwise it will rise a little slower).
If it's for tomorrow morning: this is where you stop until the next day (cover the dough balls well).
6 Cook
Heat the waffle maker, cook until the batter is golden/caramelized. Cooking time varies depending on your waffle maker: usually ~between 5 and 6 minutes. If you have a temperature setting, use a medium temperature.
Enjoy your meal!
