Whats the difference between Augustin’s Waffles® and Belgium Waffles?
The Belgium waffle that most Americans are familiar with is from the Brussels area of Belgium. It is plain and usually eaten for breakfast with butter and syrup or as a dessert with ice cream. Augustin’s Waffles® were developed in the Liege area of Belgium. Liege waffles are pre-sweetened with pearl sugar and have no artificial ingredients or preservatives. They are ready-to-eat and can be enjoyed anytime or anywhere. Why is the Liege Waffle considered the original Belgium Waffle? Belgium people are known to have enjoyed Liege waffles for more than 600 years because it could be eaten anytime and anywhere just as it is or with any type of topping.
