Gifts for National Waffle Day

Imagine waking up to the smell of fresh-made waffles and maple syrup. You go down the stairs, head over to the dining table, and there they are… a stack of lovely, crispy waffles just waiting for you.

Waffles may be traced back to ancient Greece, where they were called obelios. It was in 1393 when a recipe for waffles was published in Le Ménagier de Paris; however, the creator of that recipe is unknown. Waffles then made their way to the United States, thanks to the Dutch. It became so popular that companies started making frozen waffles to fill the demand. The honeycomb pattern that is characteristic of waffles is said to have originated in Europe probably around the 13th century. Cornelius Swartwout of Troy, New York, was the first person ever to be granted a patent for a waffle iron in 1869. And the rest, as they say, is history.
