Gaufre de Bruxelles · Brussels
The Brussels waffle: yeast-leavened, light and rectangular, with deep grids designed to hold whipped cream, strawberries or icing sugar. Eaten warm from the iron.
The Brussels waffle is the city's contribution to the global waffle family, distinct from the denser Liege waffle. Maison Dandoy has been pressing both since 1829 in their Rue Charles Buls tea room; the gaufre de Bruxelles uses a yeast-leavened batter, baked in deep-gridded irons for a crisp shell and a soft interior. Eaten warm with whipped cream and strawberries in summer, dusted with icing sugar through the rest of the year.
