Tips

The waffle from Liège is at his best when served warm and fresh!
During baking, regularly clean the baking plates with some kitchen paper or a silicone brush, otherwise the pearl sugar will caramelize and eventually burn.
Chocolate burns as from a temperature of 50°C. Therefore, carefully measure the temperature.
