Classic Belgian Waffles

Overview

Waffles, also called waffles, lattice cakes and embossed egg cakes, originated from Ghent, Belgium. In 1839, at the same time as the Chinese first banned drugs and cigarettes, a man named Max Conseal invented the waffle recipe; its sweet, soft and tempting taste was immediately loved by the Belgians and has been passed down to this day for several generations. Regardless of whether it is authentic or not, the result of the trial can be summed up in four words - it is well-deserved! Waffles can be used as breakfast, with any combination of fruits, vegetables, and meats, and with a glass of milk, which is comprehensive and rich in nutrition; waffles can also be used as desserts and afternoon tea, paired with tea and coffee, which is delicious, sweet, and romantic.
