National Waffle Week is the second week in September. That means this is your weekend to celebrate waffles. We have some suggestions, of course.
Read the history of waffles. It includes recipe ideas for a “waffle frolic” (the original waffle party, stemming from the late 1700s) to creative recipe ideas and a waffle glossary featuring different types of waffles. Here’s one fact: In 1789, Thomas Jefferson brought a waffle iron back from Europe (along with a pasta machine) when he returned from his service as Minister to France.
See our favorite gourmet pancake mixes (we’ll be reviewing many more in November).
Make this chocolate brownie waffle recipe.
How about a recipe for orange blossom waffles with fresh mango and nutmeg cream?
Check out stroopwafels, Dutch waffle cookies.
Don’t waffle: There’s still time to have a “waffle frolic” for Sunday brunch or chicken and waffles for dinner!
