What is the story about?
Waffles have a rich history that dates back to the 16th century, with their modern form depicted in paintings by artists like Joachim de Beuckelaer and Pieter Bruegel. These artworks
showcase waffles being cooked with a distinct pattern, similar to contemporary Brussels waffles. Stroopwafels, a popular variant, originated in the Dutch city of Gouda and are known for their syrup filling. The batter for stroopwafels includes flour, butter, brown sugar, yeast, milk, and eggs, creating a unique texture and flavor. By the early 20th century, waffles transitioned from street vendor offerings to homemade treats, thanks to innovations like GE's electric waffle maker introduced in 1918. Today, waffles are enjoyed worldwide, with variations like Hong Kong's egg waffles adding to their global appeal.
