Overview

A waffle is a batter-based cake that is cooked inside a waffle iron, giving them their distinctive grid-patterned shape. Waffles are a common breakfast food item, but may also be served as a snack. They may be served with a variety of toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, butter, whipped cream, powdered sugar, Cinnamon, or chocolate. Some restaurants specialize in chicken and waffles, where the waffles come with a serving of fried chicken, as a savory balance.
