Belgian waffle
Deep-pocketed breakfast
A Belgian waffle is a type of waffle made from a yeast-leavened batter, characterized by deep square pockets and a light, crispy texture.
Larger and thicker than American waffles, they're often served with whipped cream, fruit, or powdered sugar: We ordered Belgian waffles for brunch.
The name suggests Belgian origin, though the style was popularized in America after the 1964 World's Fair.
