A waffle is a pastry made with a light batter cooked in a waffle iron consisting of two metal plates, joined together by one or more hinges, decorated with patterns that are impressed into the batter and give it its characteristic shape with small square indentations.
It is a typical dish of Belgium, the Netherlands, and Northern France.
The different types of batters used and the diversity of shapes and patterns of the molds (called "challe", "waffier", "waffle iron", "mold" or "waffle maker") mean that there are numerous variants of waffles.
According to the General Dictionary of French and Modern Cooking and Pierre Lacam, the waffle is of Brabantine origin. In the 13th century, they were already being sold in the streets of Paris.
