Yeah sure, the secret is to sprinkle the dough with powdered sugar before, it caramelize the surface of the waffle.

The dough recipe is basically the same everywhere, most of folks don't even know about the powdered sugar.

>Amazing spread.

No, tell me more.

[Anonymous No.7996583]

>>7996579
So in the US, we use mayo and butter and mustard so that it's not just bread meat and cheese, which is quite dry.

I have looked but can't figure out what on earth the sandwiches had in Belgium that made them taste so damn good. Like maybe it was a cream cheese type spread or an herb butter.

I was in 2nd grade, like 7 years old when I lived in Belgium so I wasn't old enough to remember, but I can't forget how great it tasted.

Wish a Belgian bro would help out.

Cooked in beef tallow, it's god tier.

A special type of belgian potato named "bintje"

2 times cooking, once at 160° C and once at 190° C with a pause between.

Some people boil the fries in water before, it's good too.

Of all things when I eat a domesticated potato, that's the least of my concerns.
They're apart of the nightshade family, sure, but were always the least toxic and after selective breeding and our adaptation to eating them, you're a paranoid fuck if that's what you're worried about.

I admit that soaking them in water remove a lot of starch wich prevent you to end with a fried potato block.

Either Java Bami which is made with thick noodles (also popular in Suriname and the Netherlands) or Bami Goreng which is made with thin noodles (also popular in the Netherlands).

Sunflower oil is okay, but at the same temperatures as beef tallow it fouls faster.

I actually read an article about a Belgium seller who double fried at 140 and 162 Celsius with vegetable oil. Hell, Cooks Illustrated has a French fry recipe where they dump the fries in cold oil and heat it up to 280f/140c.

Beef tallow undoubtedly adds to the flavour, but I think a lot of the reputation for plaque and fouling with vegetable oil is down to just using it wrong.
