A lacquemant is a culinary specialty from the region of Liège, although it was created by Désiré Smidts at the Antwerp Fair, called Sinksenfoor (“Sinksen” is Pentecost in the Antwerpian dialect) where it is still eaten a lot.[1] It is commonly eaten during the October fair in Liège.[2]
It is a thin wafer, made from wheat, cut in two horizontally, filled and coated with sugar candy syrup flavoured with orange blossom.
