Brussels gaufres, also called waffles, are delicious honeycomb-shaped wafers that are particularly popular in Belgium and France. Simple and very fast to prepare, they are prepared with a batter based on eggs, sugar, flour, milk and powdered yeast and then cooked in a special waffle maker that will make them crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Prepare them on Sunday morning and enjoy them over a slow and lazy breakfast, sipping a nice cup of tea or coffee. You can also sprinkle them with a little powdered sugar and accompany them with a homemade berries compote, as suggested in our recipe, or you can garnish them with maple syrup, spreadable chocolate cream, dried fruit in grains, whipped cream and everything that creativity (and greediness) suggests you. So let’s find out how to prepare them by following all our tips step by step.
