About

Waffles are a crisp cake made by cooking batter on a special purpose waffle iron, which gives the waffle a honeycombed pattern. Waffles are traditionally served with a sweet sauce such as maple syrup, and cream or ice cream, or you can drizzle them with a warm chocolate sauce and top with vanilla ice cream.
