Waffle

- Submitted by Dahlia

(North American Style Belgian waffle)

Waffle is a dish from the French cuisine. It has a pretty appearance that I totally love. The shape and size of the waffle depends on the type of waffle maker. There are many varieties of waffles, including ones served for breakfast and the ones served for dessert. Diffierent toppings are used including fresh fruits, whipped cream, various sauces, ice-cream etc.

Initially I used to buy ready made pancake/ waffle mix. Once I started making from scratch, I have never bought the packed one. So here I want to share my basic Waffle recipe. In India, it might be difficult to buy waffle makers in shops. So here I am sharing the amazon link of the waffle maker and the pancake syrup that I use. Those who need can purchase it.
