Waffles

Waffles are a Belgian culinary speciality and can be eaten at any time, in any way or covered in sugar, cream, chocolate, etc. Each region of the country has its own recipe, even if the basic ingredients (flour, milk, sugar, eggs) do not vary. The most famous are, without a doubt, Brussels waffles. The word waffle, borrowed from the Frankish language, means “beeswax cake”. Nowadays, the term indicates a type of cake cooked in a waffle iron. Belgium is particularly famous for Brussels and Liège waffles. The former is large, rectangular and very light. It is eaten hot. The shopping streets of the capital and, increasingly, the Belgian coast, are full of vendors. The success of this typical culinary speciality cannot be denied. It is difficult not to be tempted by the delicious smell of the batter cooking.
