About Boûkète

The Pays de Liège tourism office presents boûkètes as thick buckwheat pancakes associated with Christmas and the city’s August festivities. Its recipe includes raisins, rum and cinnamon in an egg-and-milk batter.

Buckwheat provides the cereal flavour, with rum, cinnamon and raisins adding their own character. Butter and whole milk contribute dairy richness, while sugar sweetens the batter and serving.

Beaten egg whites and a rested yeast batter form the pancakes. They are cooked on a peanut-oil-greased griddle and offered with light brown sugar in this selected serving version.
