From need to pleasure
No one resists the smell of a freshly made waffle, right? But it was not always a greed! By the thirteenth century, when the original recipe was created, it was a substitute for bread. The dough was also used in the churches as a host and usually the printed image was some coat of arms or figure related to Christianity.
Later, in the eighteenth century, the "Waffle de Liège" appeared, so-called because the recipe was invented by the masterchef of the Prince of Liège. This recipe is made with sugar pearls, which melt as the dough cooks in the mold, forming caramelized points. Needless to say the scent is divine and filling it is almost a sin!
