Don’t you just love spoiling yourself or some else with a plate of The Best Waffles!! Big, crispy, and delicious waffles. Filling the little nooks with butter and dousing the pile with pure maple syrup. The first known waffle recipe dates back to the late 14th century, really?? Who knew they were around that long.
There are loads of variations of this popular breakfast staple but most of us think of the Belgian waffle, which has become Americanized. There are Brussels Waffles, Scandinavian, Norwegian, Hong Kong, and Flemish. You can serve them with fried chicken, hotdogs, or even serve them on a stick. Besides the Scandinavian waffles, my favorite is these. Light as air and crispy!!
Love how the little pockets fill up with butter and syrup!!

I love waffles and yours are beautiful. I love the syrup in the photographs. I only found out yesterday that the trick was to nearly freeze the syrup before taking the photo. Can’t wait to try that. 🙂

I love waffles but I rarely make them because 1) I have yet to find a truly excellent recipe and 2) I HATE cleaning the darn waffle iron afterwards, lol. Your waffles look amazing, Tara! And I love that there’s no butter only oil in the recipe. Sometimes it’s a pain in the butt to cut a few tablespoons of cold butter just to make pancakes/waffles. Hmmm…I think the common theme of my comment is how lazy I am! Printing this so that I can try these on a leisurely weekend morning.
