sugar
150 g of candy syrup
7 gr of cocoa
1 tablespoon of
cinnamon powder

The syrup: reduce all listed ingredients to
syrup. Allow to cool.
The waffles: sieve the flour, mix with the yeast
and the sugars. Add the butter, syrup, egg yolk

Knead into a dough ball and leave it covered
with a clean towel for an hour at room
temperature, draft-free.
Now cut pieces of about 40 to 50 gr and roll
them out to oval galettes of 10 to 20 cm. Bake
the galettes in about 30 seconds in a waffle iron
with a very fine pattern.
Both Antwerp and Liège claim the
intellectual property rights. Unfortunately
for them, the original inventor turns out to
be the Lille pasteurizer Lacquemant. Later
he settled in Liège and his descendants also
in Antwerp. The fact is that today the
Lackmans wafers are inextricably linked to
the Sinksenfoor in Antwerp and the Foire
d'octobre in Liege.

When they come out of the waffle iron, they
are a bit bloated. Cut straight into the thickness
in two halves and spread generously with
syrup. You can also simply pull the two halves
through the syrup and stick them back
together. But then eating it neatly is not a
simple task.
