waffle

Waffles are sweet and soft grid-patterned desserts loved by people worldwide. They are commonly enjoyed as breakfast or brunch items.

Belgian Liège waffles are particularly famous and can be enjoyed with various toppings. Recently, they have also gained huge popularity as street food in Korea.

The waffle's grid pattern originated from special waffle irons made by European blacksmiths in the 15th century. This pattern was designed to allow syrup or butter to be absorbed well.

In Belgium, waffles are a source of national pride, with each region boasting its unique recipe. In modern times, various waffle variations have gained popularity on social media, and Korean waffle cafes, in particular, are gaining attention for their creative fusion menus.
