Waffle



A waffle is a light batter cake cooked in a waffle iron patterned
to give a distinctive and characteristic shape.

Varieties of waffle

* The Brussels Waffleor Belgian Waffle is prepared from a yeast-leavened batter, and
is often lighter and more crisp compared to other waffle varieties. It is often served warm
by street vendors, dusted with confectioner's sugar, and sometimes topped with whipped
cream or chocolate spread. It may also be served as a dessert, with fruits, whipped
cream or ice cream.


Liège waffles with berries

* The Liège waffle (from the city of Liège, in eastern Belgium) is a waffle usually
bought and eaten warm on the street. They are usually freshly made in small shops, but it
is also possible to buy them in supermarkets. They are smaller, sweeter, and denser
than "Belgian waffles". The last-minute addition of nib sugar to the batter produces a
caramelized sugar coating. This gives a distinctive flavor. Most are served plain, but some
are vanilla or cinnamon flavored, and can be served with toppings like fruits, creams,
and chocolate. The Liège waffle was invented by a cook of the prince-bishop of Liège in
the 18th century.




* American waffles, common in the United States, are made from a batter leavened
with baking powder, rather than yeast. They are usually served as a sweet breakfast
food, topped with butter and various syrups. but are also found in many different savory
dishes, such as chicken and waffles. They are generally denser and thinner than the
Belgian waffle. Waffles were first introduced to North America in 1620, by pilgrims who
brought the method from Holland. Thomas Jefferson brought a waffle iron from France,
and waffle frolics or parties became popular in the late eighteenth century. Waffles were
eaten with both sweet (e.g. molasses or maple syrup) and savoury (such as kidney stew)
toppings.



* Potato waffle, common in Ireland, the UK and south-western Germany, is a savory
frozen food in waffle shape, made of reconstituted potato, oil and seasonings. These
waffles may be baked, grilled, prepared in a toaster or fried, and are used as a side dish
or snack.



* Hong Kong style waffle, in Hong Kong called a "grid cake" is a waffle usually made
and sold by street hawkers and eaten warm on the street. They are similar to a traditional
waffle but larger, round in shape and divided into four quarters. They are usually served
as a snack. Butter, peanut butter and sugar are spread on one side of the cooked waffle
and then it is folded into a semi circle to eat. Egg, sugar and evaporated milk are used in
the waffle recipes, giving them a sweet flavor. They are generally soft and not dense.
Traditional Hong Kong style waffles are full of the flavor of yolk. Sometimes different
flavors, such as chocolate and honey melon flavor are used in the recipe and create
various colors.



* Stroopwafels (Dutch: syrup waffles) are thin waffles with a syrup filling. They were
first made in Gouda in the Netherlands, during the 18th or 19th century. The stiff batter
for the waffles is made from flour, butter, brown sugar, yeast, milk, and eggs. Medium
sized balls of batter are put on the waffle iron. When the waffle is baked, and while it is
still warm, it is cut into two halves. The warm filling, made from syrup, brown sugar,
butter, and cinnamon, is spread in between the waffle halves, which glues them together.
They are popular in Belgium and the Netherlands.
