Last week, at the Ferry, I saw that the (overpriced) bakery was selling Liege waffles.

(They call them "real Belgian waffles", but let me assure you that there is nothing unreal about Brussels waffles.)

And I go "Ooh, waffles, I haven't had a waffle like this since the last time I was in Belgium" which was, for reference, before my father died. (Point of fact, I'm certain I didn't mostly munch on Liege waffles there either, I had a third type of waffle, but I can't find a recipe for those.)

So I shelled out the absurdly high price, bit in and...

Oh, such a disappointment :(

Not what I wanted at all. Sure, they smelled right, but they were too dry, too stale, too... NOT RIGHT.

So I decided to make some of my very own. This is the recipe I used. I'll bite into mine in ONE second, just hold on.

(And let me note that if this works I must find a cheaper source of pearl sugar. The whole $12 went into this batch!)

*munchmunchmunch*

*chewchewchew*

*swallow*

Well... it's not as sweet as I'd like... and I do believe my waffle iron is too deep for what I want... but ladies and gentlemen, we have WAFFLY GOODNESS HERE!

I gotta go wash my keyboard now, it's all sticky.

Ugh, so after that update I went and burned my thumb on carmelized waffle.

Go me :(

Luckily, it was my right hand.

Unluckily, I burned my fucking thumb! Spent 20 minutes running water over it, and it still hurt and up my hand. Would've spent longer but I had to pick up Ana and the sink wasn't gonna come with me. It stopped hurting (much) after half an hour from that, and now it's not hurting at all, but I have one big blister and a smaller one above.

I ate a few extra waffles to compensate.
