FUNCAKES · Baking Mix
Waffle Mix – 1 kg
Liège waffles with pearl sugar, crisp on the outside and soft on the inside.
The FUNCAKES Waffle Mix lets you make authentic Liège waffles, with their crisp crust caramelized by pearl sugar and their soft crumb. The dough is shaped into balls rather than poured, following the traditional Belgian method.

Step-by-step preparation
- Mix 500 g of mix, 150 g of butter, 175 ml of water and 1 egg (50 g) for 3 to 4 minutes until smooth.
- Separately mix 200 g of pearl sugar with 20 g of slightly melted butter.
- Incorporate the sugar-and-butter mixture into the dough for 30 seconds, without overworking it so the pearl sugar remains intact.
- Heat and grease the waffle iron, then shape 70 g balls of dough (about 15 balls from 500 g of mix).
- Bake for 3 to 4 minutes until nicely golden.
Please note: Do not mix for too long after adding the pearl sugar: it should remain in visible grains so it can caramelize on the surface during baking, unlike fine sugar, which would dissolve into the dough.

Frequently asked questions
Why shape the dough into balls instead of pouring it?
This is the traditional method for Liège waffles: the ball of dough flattens in the hot waffle iron and produces a denser, more irregular crumb than a Brussels waffle, which is poured in with a ladle.
Is the pearl sugar included in the mix?
No, it is added separately (200 g for 500 g of mix), mixed with a little melted butter, then briefly incorporated into the dough just before baking.
Can the waffles be topped after baking?
Yes, whipped cream, fresh fruit, maple syrup or melted chocolate pair well with the caramelized flavour of the pearl sugar.
