What are Belgian Waffles?
Belgian waffles are waffles made with a crispy golden brown exterior and a light, fluffy interior. In actuality, the waffle which many Americans call a “Belgian waffle” is a “Brussels waffle.” They were referred to as Belgian waffles at the 1964 World’s Fair, when a Belgian man introduced the concept to the United States. Like other European nations, Belgium has a long waffle making tradition which stretches back to the Middle Ages, and many varieties of Belgian waffles are available in Belgium.
