There's nothing like a cheap, hot sugar rush during winter evenings than grabbing a waffle to-go from your neighborhood shop in Flanders. And there's nothing like noshing on a freshly-made Luikse wafel (Liegoise waffle), gooey with caramelized sugar and oh-so-moist texture, from Croccantino's, located at a side street off Bondgenotenlaan (Leuven's 1-mile long shopping street). For waffles are traditionally held to be a hot sweet treat for winter--for spring and summer, Croccantino's well-known for their gelateria.
But, one day, I will get myself a wafelijzer and make my own batch of Luikse wafel, or perhaps a Brusselse wafel (but for this kind, I'll need a giant set of irons).
