Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer’s instructions.
- Place the Liege waffle onto the hot iron and close the lid. Warm for about 30 seconds until heated through and lightly crisped.

- For a microwave alternative: Place the waffle on a microwave-safe plate and microwave for 20 seconds.
Recipe Tips
For extra crispiness, let the waffle cool on a wire rack after heating rather than stacking.
Serve with fresh berries, whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for a decadent dessert.
If using a toaster, watch closely to prevent burning as the sugar can caramelize quickly.
