Wæflen

Wæflen, also known as waffles, are a popular breakfast dish consisting of a grid of squares or hexagons, made from a dough or batter that may contain eggs, milk, and flour. The dough is cooked between two plates, which compress it and cause it to rise into a characteristic grid pattern. Wæflen can be served plain or topped with various ingredients such as butter, syrup, fruit, whipped cream, or chocolate. They are enjoyed worldwide and come in various styles, including American waffles, Belgian waffles, and savory waffles. The term "wæflen" is derived from the Old High German word "wafala," which means "wafer." The dish has a long history, with evidence of wæflen-like foods dating back to ancient civilizations. Today, wæflen are a staple in many breakfast menus and are enjoyed for their delicious taste and comforting texture.
