Crispy Whole Grain Waffles


Waffles have been a part of our collective experience for a very long time. Indeed, the sweet and hot breakfast treat has been a staple in American cuisine since before our earliest colonial days. Waffled can be enjoyed in the traditional manner, with butter and maple syrup. Or perhaps you like your waffles with whipped cream and strawberries? Mmmmmm, the possibilities are endless when it comes to decking out your waffles, any way you like!

The History of Waffles


You make think of Belgium when considering the history of waffles in world cuisine, but the roots of this tasty dish go back further than you may believe. Over 1000 years ago the Greeks roasted flat cakes between two metal plates attached to wooden handles. That sounds like an awkward, but functional waffle iron if you ask me! These flat, unsweetened cakes were called Obelios, but they evolved over the years as their popularity spread throughout Europe and eventually worldwide. We know them today as Waffles.
