Hot and crispy, and sprinkled in mounds of powdered sugar, it was plain to see why these waffles quickly became one of my favorite food memories from Belgium.īelgian waffles are surprisingly a fairly “new” invention. The street vendors would make them fresh to order, then would hand them wrapped in paper to eager customers. We happened to be in Brussels and street vendors were selling these delightful waffles from carts on virtually every street and sidewalk. I first tasted Belgian waffles many years ago when I was traveling in Europe with my parents and godparents.

I inherited this fancy French Fleur-de-Lis Waffle Iron from my parents a few years ago. They are just so pretty! And, I figured if my Belgian godparents don’t mind, then hopefully no one else will. Making these Healthier Belgian Waffles in the symbolically French fleur de lys pattern was a bit of a stretch, I know, but we really couldn’t resist. Serve hot with a combination of your favorite garnishes. Remove waffle, and repeat process (no need to grease iron again).
