The Best of Two Worlds: French Crepes and Belgian Liege Waffles Mix
Our Liege Waffle Mix has become a quality kitchen stable for many professionals and home bakers. Making Liege waffle dough from scratch can be overwhelming and time consuming. This is where our mix comes in handy! As a result, we often receive feedback from customers that highlights its consistency and ease when preparing Liege waffle dough.
We didn’t stop there and decided to go back to the kitchen and experiment further with the same mix. With just a few small adjustments and in no time, our waffle mix once again blew our taste buds with possibly the best French crepes. We were just as surprised, the same mix that creates the popular sticky Liege waffle dough is also able to make a smooth French pancake batter.
The small tweaks that makes Liege Waffle Mix Perfect for French Crepes
Yeast
The formulation of Belgian Liege waffles and French crepes is similar, but there are few differences that we need to consider. Liege waffles are made with a yeast based dough while French crepes are based on a smooth batter. Hence, we don’t have to add any yeast and can skip the rising time.
Belgian Pearl Sugar
Belgian pearl sugar is the key ingredient in Belgian Liege waffles, which gives the waffles their licious caramelized flavor. In contrast, French crepes don’t call for pearl sugar wich is why you can skip this too when preparing the mix. Fortunatley, you can purchase our Liege waffle mix without the pearl sugar and yeast to not be wasteful.
Milk Instead of Water
When it comes to the moist ingredients, we will simply replace the water needed for our Liege waffle mix with milk. The butter and eggs remain to be added to our mix, albeit in different ratios. For the complete ingredients and instructions skip to the recipe below.
