A waffle is a batter- or dough-based cake cooked in a waffle iron patterned to give a distinctive and characteristic shape. There are many variations based on the type of waffle iron and recipe used. Waffles are eaten throughout the world, particularly in Belgium, which has over a dozen regional varieties.[1]Waffles are traditionally eaten as a breakfast dish, topped with butter and maple syrup, bacon, and other fruit syrups. They are also popular in the United States as a dessert, topped with ice cream and whipped cream.The word "waffle" first appears in the English language in 1725: "Waffles. Take flower, cream and eggs, beat well together, fry in a waffle iron." It is directly derived from the Dutch wafel, which itself derives from the Middle Dutch wafele.[2][3] While the Dutch word and its cognates in other Germanic languages (e.g., German Waffel, Swedish våffla, Norwegian vafler, Danish vafler, Icelandic vöffla) refer to a type of pancake with a honeycomb-like pattern, the English word has gradually come to refer to a different food altogether: a batter-based cake cooked in a waffle iron.In the United States,
