Belgian Waffle Cookies
Crisp, yummy cookies which a lot of people seem to exchange around the holidays. I think the Italian verson contains anise.
Fluffy Belgian Waffles Recipe
This is the waffle recipe I always use. It is a favorite in our house. You can either use the store bought Bisquick® or make up a batch of your own. There are a lot of great recipes for that here on Zaar!! Note: the original recipe states this makes 12 waffles. When I made mine I only got 6 waffles out of the batter.
Belgian Buns
This is a recipe someone on the British site was looking for. I found it on Delia Smith’s messageboard. I haven’t tried it. And I’ve no idea how long it takes to make.
Buttery Cupcakes
We like these little cupcakes very much, and they always disappear very quickly. In Belgium we don’t tend to frost cupcakes, but I suppose you could.
The Classic French Bistro Sandwich – Croque Monsieur
My two versions of this classic French café/bistro sandwich – oven baked for large quantities and ease…….or, the traditional frying pan/skillet method! You can always rely upon the French to add a certain “je ne sais quoi” to even the simplest food …including the humble cheese and ham sandwich. The croque-monsieur (which becomes a croque-madame if you top it with a fried egg) is a great favourite in French cafés & bistros, and there are as many methods of crafting it as there are cafés! This one works for me. But, please be warned … it’s not for calorie-counters, the Cholesterol Police or those of a nervous disposition!!
