Blooming where I am planted! | I happened upon a little cafe today in the city (went there for a hoop dance class). I had a zucker waffle and it was delicious! From an article on the cafe: "Baladoche, a cafe in Chicago’s Lincoln Park, features Liege waffles from the French-speaking region of Belgium. They are called Belgian zucker waffles. The waffle dough—"Not batter, not batter, dough," owner Mootoo says—contains butter, flour, sugar, salt and minimal eggs. It is made in large quantities and flash-frozen. Later, it is thawed, proofed and baked in individual servings in a waffle iron. The secret to Baladoche’s waffles is pearl sugar. When the dough is cooked, the vanilla-infused sugar chips explode, permeating the waffle like warm chocolate chips. Cooked waffles can be topped with cinnamon sugar, sprinkles, chocolate sauce, jams or whipped cream." I don't know the recipe, but it's unlike any waffle I've ever had! |
