waffles

Waffles are a type of baked batter-based food, typically made from a mixture of flour, eggs, milk, sugar, and butter. The batter is poured into a waffle iron, a device with patterned plates, and then cooked until golden and crispy. The distinctive grid pattern creates pockets that hold syrup, fruit, or toppings, enhancing flavor and texture. Waffles are enjoyed for breakfast or as a snack, offering a combination of a crunchy exterior and a soft interior. They have origins in European cuisine and are versatile, often customized with various ingredients or toppings.
