Waffle Recipes

Waffles are some of the oldest breakfast foods around with records showing ancient Greeks making flat cakes between two metal plates. The word "waffle" actually comes from the Dutch word, "wafel," and this is probably the origin of the food as we know it.

Waffle irons are the necessary tool of the trade because they use high heat that cooks quickly and crisps the outside of the waffle while leaving the inside tender and light. Non-electric waffle irons were popular even in Thomas Jefferson's day when waffles were also street food, too. Vendors sold them steaming hot and dripping with maple syrup or molasses. Modern irons made them even easier to create and Belgian waffles, which are a bit thicker than traditional ones and made with yeast, are all the rage at Sunday brunches around the country. Frozen waffles were developed by two brothers, Sam and Anthony Dorsa, in San Jose, California, in the early 1930s. They sold them, as well as a variety of products such as potato chips and mayonnaise, under the label "Eggo."

Waffle Tips

Are your waffles tough? If so, they may be overcooked, meaning that your iron may need more time to get hot before you start cooking. Make sure you follow the directions for your waffle maker. If you want fluffier results, it helps to separate the eggs and beat the whites until they are stiff before adding them to the batter. To spice up your breakfast, add a bit of cinnamon or vanilla to the batter. .
