Lars' Own Belgian Pearl Sugar 8 Ounces (Pack of 4)

Makes Belgian waffles with a great texture and flavor. I've been using Lars' Own Belgian Pearl Sugar for years making the recipe on the box. Any time I suggest making any other kind of waffles I get pushback from friends and family. Waffle maker will be coated in melted sugar though it's worth it. It helps to proof the dough in a nice warm environment to get it to rise well and produce a more airy waffle, e.g. if your kitchen is cool use the oven with the pilot light on or use bread proof mode. The dough will double in size but is thick and has a lot of butter so needs the right conditions.

I've been making Liege waffles for years. Recently my local supply of pearl sugar stopped stocking the product so i switched to this one. I decided to try their recipe on the back because it was even less complicated than my traditional version. The result was very very good and tastes just like what you would buy on the streets in Brussels. We froze a whole bunch, but the only lasted a week at the rate that my family ate them.

Years ago my husband brought some Belgian waffles home from a trip to Belgium. They were made fresh that morning and we had them for dinner. Wow. Everyone loved them. I have tried for years to duplicate or even come close. Truth is you can't without this sugar. Nothing else I found holds up and provides the finish this does.

Like another reviewer I also received a 4 pack of Swedish pearl sugar. Amazon corrected.The recipe on the box worked well, albeit a little too much sugar. The recipe ended up making 12 x 110 gram potions. Would try to do 13 x 100 gram portions next time and press thinner.

I know there are many who say this is not real Belgian Pearl Sugar, but it works for me when making Liege Waffles. I have purchased other brands and compared and didn't see much of a difference. It doesn't melt as nicely as I would like, but it works for me.

I made waffles with this and they turned out great. I did not spray my waffle iron due to 2 sticks of butter being in the recipe on the box and it is non-stick. Some pearls do "fall out" when you cook them. Overall, very tasty.

I received Swedish pearl sugar instead of Belgian.

Still learning how to incorporate the pearl sugar in other foods. However the waffles came out flavorful and very tasty, but I did use a recipe different from the one on the box. I do think the price was a bit expensive.
