Waffles - Dutch

A waffle is a batter or dough based cake cooked in a Waffle Iron, patterned to give a distinctive and characteristic shape. 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. Belgian waffles are prepared with Yeast-leavened batter. Belgian waffles were introduced to America by restaurateur Maurice Vermersch, who sold his Brussels waffles under the name "Bel-Gem Waffles" at New York's 1964 World's Fair. - Wikipedia. This recipe came with my waffle machine.
