waffles
Syrup-catching grid cakes
Waffles are crisp, golden cakes made from batter cooked in a hinged iron that imprints a grid of deep pockets—ideal for holding butter and syrup.
As a verb, to waffle is to speak or write vaguely, avoiding commitment: The candidate waffled on the tax question.
In British usage, waffling also means going on at length without saying much.
