beljga

Beljga is a term that refers to a type of traditional Belgian waffle, often associated with the city of Liège. The name "beljga" is derived from the Dutch word "belg", which means "waffle". This type of waffle is characterized by its distinctive shape, which is often described as a diamond or a rhombus, with a slight indentation in the center. The waffle is typically made from a batter of flour, eggs, milk, and butter, and is cooked in a specialized waffle iron.

Beljga waffles are often served with a variety of toppings, including powdered sugar, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, or fresh fruit. They are a popular treat in Belgium, particularly during the Christmas season, when they are often served as a dessert. The waffle is also a popular street food, with vendors selling them from carts and stalls.

The exact origins of the beljga waffle are unclear, but it is believed to have been developed in the Liège region of Belgium during the 19th century. The waffle has since become a symbol of Belgian cuisine, and is often associated with the country's rich culinary heritage. Today, beljga waffles can be found in bakeries and cafes throughout Belgium, as well as in restaurants and food stalls around the world.
