Traditional Belgian biscuits (Galettes Belges)
Ideally made with a galette or pizzelle iron, these traditional buttery Belgian biscuits can also be made in a Belgian waffle iron; regardless of which iron you use, the ridges will give these sweet heavenly biscuits the lovely golden crunch that they (and you!) deserve.
Ingredients

- In a large bowl, stir together the dark brown soft sugar and butter until smooth and creamy; then add eggs and vanilla, and beat well. Gradually stir in flour. Set bowl over a hot water bath, and stir to blend ingredients. Cover, and refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat the galette, pizzelle or waffle iron.
- Shape dough into 2.5cm balls, and place in the iron. Close the iron and cook the biscuits. This should take about 30 seconds in an electric galette iron, or 2 to 4 minutes in a handheld iron over a medium flame. Carefully remove biscuits and cool on wire racks.
