This Belgian Waffles without Pearl Sugar is my copycat version of the Jamba Juice Belgian (liege) waffles. It’s way cheaper, same taste, and have I mentioned, you don’t have to use the elusive pearl sugar; we replaced it with pure cane sugar cubes. It’s so easy!

Belgian Waffles without Pearl Sugar

This Jamba juice copycat Belgian Waffles without Pearl Sugar is the only waffle recipe you need. You can’t tell the difference between the one you get from Jamba juice or its homemade. It is a copycat after all. This recipe just saves you money and you can make five Belgian Waffles for two cups of all-purpose flour.

Equipment

I used the Oster waffle maker and this type of waffle maker is deeper in its indentations.

Stand-up electric mixer

Ingredients:

All-purpose flour
Brown Sugar
Unsalted Butter
Egg
Salt
Instant Dry Yeast or Quick Rise yeast
Pure cane sugar in cubes
Vanilla Extract
Water

How do you make it?

Step one: Measure one cup of the cane sugar cube and put it inside the zip lock. Pound the sugar. Make sure that you pound each cube once so that it will not turn into powder. Set aside.
Step two: Place the purpose flour, instant yeast, brown sugar, and salt in the mixing bowl. Attach the paddle attachment and mix at number two for five turns. Add in the eggs and water. Mix until it forms into a wet dough. Add the melted unsalted butter. Mix until the batter is smooth. Be patient. We need the batter to be mixed completely. You don’t want the butter to be separated from the flour mixture. This will take seven to ten minutes. Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for one hour.
Step three: When the butter and the flour mixture are ready, add in the pounded sugar. Mix using a spatula. Make sure that the sugar is well distributed to the batter. Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for another fifteen minutes.
Step four: When ready, preheat the waffle maker. When the light turns green, spray it with nonstick oil. Scoop one-third cup of the batter and place it in the middle of the waffle maker. Close it tightly and wait for three minutes. When the waffles are brown on top, it is done. For the next scoops, you don’t need to spray with nonstick oil.

How to Clean the Waffle Maker?

It is important that you clean your waffle maker right away after use since the caramelized sugar will become hard. When done, keep the waffle make plugged in. Damp a paper towel and wipe the crevices. You can use a chopstick to reach the nooks.

Tips:

Measure the cubed sugar first before pounding.
You don’t have to spray nonstick spray in each scoop.
Clean the waffle maker while it’s hot.

How do you store Belgian waffles?

Place the waffles in a sealed container and place just leave them on the counter at room temperature.
If you want to freeze them, put them in a ziplock and freeze them. Thaw on the counter and heat it in a toaster before eating.

Notes

This recipe was adapted from Stay at Home Belgian Waffles. I did not have the pearl sugar, so I used cane sugar but it was just as good as the one from Costco and Jamba juice.
