I found this recipe on a blog and wanted to put it here for safekeeping, haven’t tried it yet, but it looks really yummy. The Belgian Pearl sugar can be purchased at Amazon, http://www.amazon.com/Lars-Own-Belgian-Pearl-Sugar/dp/B001LDAE4C. Waffle iron temp is the key it seems to get the sugar to carmelize without burning.
I found this recipe on the internet. I haven’t tried it yet,but I will if I can find the pearl sugar. Things like that are rare where I live.
I have not yet had the good fortune to visit Belgium, but I do frequent a lovely NYC cafe called Le Pain Quotidien, which is based in Belgium. I tried their crispy, caramelized Belgian Sugar Waffle, and was instantly in love. If perled sugar is not available, substitute an equal amount of coarsely crushed sugar cubes. I got this recipe off a Belgian website.
