Belgian Waffles are similar to classic waffles, but they are thicker with deeper indentations. They tend be crusty on the outside and pillowy soft on the inside. These have an extra tablespoon of sugar in them too which makes them almost perfect to eat without any toppings. Almost.
Belgian waffles are also the perfect vessel to serve with fried chicken (for chicken and waffles), wafflewiches (any kind of waffle sandwich) or alone as plain old breakfast/brunch waffles.
