History:

Waffles have been enjoyed for centuries and have a rich and exciting history. The first known waffles date back to ancient Greece, where cooks would make flat cakes called "obelios" using two metal plates over an open fire. In the Middle Ages, waffles became popular in Europe and utilized irons with intricate designs, often featuring religious symbols. These waffles are typically eaten as a snack or dessert, often with honey or fruit toppings. In the 18th century, waffles became a more common breakfast food, and the first waffle recipe was published in a cookbook in 1749. As waffle irons became more common and affordable, waffles became even more popular. Today, waffles are enjoyed worldwide and in many different variations and flavors. From classic Belgian waffles to savory chicken and waffles, there is a waffle recipe just like ours to suit any taste. So, next time you enjoy a delicious waffle, remember this beloved breakfast food's long and fascinating history.
