A waffle’s batter is made from eggs, water, baking powder and flour. This recipe will vary depending on the type and version of waffle that you want to make and eat. Once the batter is made it is then cooked in between two hot plates called a waffle maker.

Waffles are actually very old cakes. They were first eaten during the Middle Ages when street vendors would sell them on the cobbled streets of European cities. It is for these Medieval cakes that the modern waffle evolved from.

Waffles were first introduced to America in 1620 when they were brought from Europe by Dutch pilgrims. The modern American waffle has evolved since then and you can now find cakes that are sweet, fruit or savory that can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, dinner, desert or as a snack.

Most Europeans are unfamiliar with the American version. When they think of a waffle they think of the Belgian version. This is lighter and more thick than their American cousins. Just like their Medieval predecessors, these cakes are sold on the street as a hot snack.

In Hong Kong, waffles are also sold on the street. They are known as a grid cake because of the way they look and are made. In the Netherlands, stroopwafel is the modern version of their waffle from the Middle Ages that has been around since the 18th century.
