Did you know?
Belgian waffles originated in Brussels and were introduced internationally at the 1962 World’s Fair in Seattle.
Their signature deep pockets come from using yeast or beaten egg whites in the batter.
They are traditionally larger and thicker than American waffles, often served with powdered sugar, fruit, or ice cream.
The word “waffle” comes from the Dutch “wafel,” meaning “honeycomb.”
