We were staying in our B&B in Ghent, Belgium, when we decided to take the train to Brugge. I saw travel videos before, but I wanted to see it for myself. There I tasted the world most famous Belgian Waffles
When in Europe, we never visit the same place twice, there is so much to see and explore. I remember those Waffles well, I had them on the Brugge Market place. They are so exceptional, light and fluffy.
We were sitting on the Marktplatz in Brugge when I ate those delicious Belgian waffles the first time. You should try, it will not disappoint you. Scroll down to see the recipe!
I always like to try and taste other country’s cuisine. These Belgian waffles are made with yeast and quark (substitute quark with 4% greek yoghurt).
Angie’s pick. The Belgian waffle maker groves are deeper than the usual one, and they come in all price categories:
