Who doesn't like breakfast food for dinner? We love breakfast food at my house, and my waffle maker has gotten quite the workout lately - from cornmeal waffles to go with chili, to regular buttermilk waffles and now Liege waffles (gaufre de Liege just sounds so much more exotic!).
I had just gotten my new issue of Food and Wine magazine this week and while flipping through it, I came to a stop when I saw the Liege waffle recipe. It was exciting because Julien is from Liege (in Belgium).

The exciting part is that I actually found the Belgian pearl sugar that the recipe called for right here in Geneva at a more reasonable price than I found on Amazon.
OMG, it was totally worth it - this batch of waffles was seriously the best ever! The pearl sugar caramelized in places, and in others, it stayed crunchy. You didn't even need syrup or any sort of topping - just a plain Liege waffle is happiness on a plate and in your tummy :)

Ok, those sound delicious! Which store did you end up finding the pearl sugar at?
