Waffle
The history of waffle recipes is long and storied, with the earliest known recipes dating back to the 13th century. The traditional Belgian waffle, however, did not make its debut until the 18th century.
The earliest known recipes for waffles were actually for a type of pancake, known as obella in Italy and oublies in France. These pancakes were made with a batter of flour, water and eggs, and were cooked on a griddle or in a pan.
The first recorded recipe for a waffle-type dish comes from England in the 13th century, when a recipe for “Wafers” was included in an anonymous cookbook called The Forme of Cury. This recipe called for a batter of flour, eggs, milk and salt, which was cooked on a griddle.
Advice
batter
When making waffle batter, it is important to mix the dry ingredients together first before adding the wet ingredients. This will ensure that the baking powder and baking soda are evenly distributed throughout the batter. Additionally, it's important to let the batter rest for a few minutes so that the baking powder and baking soda have time to activate and create the light and fluffy texture that waffles are known for. Finally, when pouring the batter onto the waffle iron, be sure to spread it across the surface evenly and don't overfill the waffle iron to ensure that your waffles are cooked properly.
