Cooked Between Two Plates. A waffle iron has two heated plates with a pattern of bumps and grooves. When you pour batter between them and close the lid, the heat makes the batter cook into a golden, crispy waffle with the pattern imprinted on every side.

Belgium's Waffle Treasure. Belgium is the waffle capital of the world and has over a dozen different regional varieties. Each area has its own special recipe and style, making Belgian waffles famous for being extra delicious.

Many Tasty Variations. Waffles come in different shapes and sizes depending on the type of waffle iron you use and what ingredients go into the batter. You can make them sweet, savory, thick, thin, or anything in between!

Fresh or Frozen. You can make waffles from scratch at home, or buy them pre-made from the store, frozen, fresh, or already baked, and just heat them up for a quick breakfast or snack.
