What is a Liège waffle?

"When Americans refer to a “Belgian waffle”, they are usually referring to a simplified version on the Brussels waffle, often made with a pancake-like batter. The Liège waffle (pronounced “LEE-AGE”) is from the city of Liège, in eastern Belgium. It is a richer, denser, sweeter, and chewier waffle. Liège waffles were invented by the chef of the prince-bishop of Liège in the 18th century as an adaptation of brioche bread dough. They feature chunks of pearl sugar that caramelize on the outside of the waffle when baked. They are the most common type of waffle available in Belgium and are prepared in plain, vanilla and cinnamon varieties by street vendors across the nation. (Wikipedia)"
