Waffle Pantry® Belgian Pearl Sugar, 16 oz (Pack of 6)

Originally from the nord of France, very close to the Belgium border, I was looking for sugar to make real waffle (no offense Ego but I that taste like cardboard). If you go for "Gaufre liegeoise" (Belgium waffle form Liege), you need this. Yes it is pure sugar, but with the amount of butter most recipe recommend, the few added calories from the sugar willl not be that bad :D (Tip: when following a Liegoise waffle recipe, you can divide the butter by 2 and substitute with an extra egg without altering the taste that much).

As a Belgian living in the U.S., I was so happy to find this authentic pearl sugar. I use it to make real Liège waffles, and the result is exactly how I remember them back home—crispy caramelized bits, rich texture, and that perfect sweetness. The sugar pearls are the right size and hold up beautifully during baking, just as they should. It’s not always easy to find the real thing here, so I’m glad this is available and consistent in quality. If you’re trying to recreate traditional Belgian waffles, this is absolutely the ingredient you need. Highly recommend!

Love this Belgian pearl sugar. I use it in my waffle dough. It’s makes perfect melty pockets of sugar in every bite. I can’t find them locally, so grateful I can get them here.

Went to a waffle party at Christmas and the hostess used this sugar to make her waffles extra special. I LOVED it and wanted to try it for my own family. They LOVED it too! I use a 'from scratch' yeast recipe and let the batter rise for an hour. I toss in one cup of the pearl sugar, stir, and let it rise for another 15 minutes. I pour a cup of batter into the Belgian waffle maker and sprinkle a few more pearls over the top before I close the lid. We use butter and syrup, jams, fruit, etc., to top the waffles. Seriously, you will LOVE this stuff.

OMG.....I was not sure how much to order so I ordered 6 pounds. Well, while I can guarantee I will make these waffles again and again, 6 pounds is enough for 18 batches! But the results are so amazingly awesome my party of 5 the other night finished all 10 waffles AFTER a huge dinner. AND THEN THEY WANTED MORE! But, unfortunately, the 4 hours of prep time would not allow that. (remember 2-3 hours of rising+. But the results were amazing. By the way, in my commercial waffle maker, the cooking time was about 1 (ONE) minute! And the waffles came out amazingly great.
