Luikse Wafels

I am looking for the genuine recipe for Luikse wafels the way you buy them in Belgium, pipin' hot from a stand in a train station or near the coast or at the carnival or anyplace where there are a lot of people walking. There's a supermarket variety that is eaten cold, it is also quite good but hot from the stand just cannot be beat. The internet crawls with recipes for what people call Luikse wafels and I have tried several, they ranged in flavor from okay to not bad but I have not yet found the genuine article. These have a unique flavor and that's what I want to nail down. I chose 'artisan baking' as the category because think that this must be a very oldĀ recipe that has been passed on from generation to generation, it may have been around for a well over a hundred years.
