The Tale of Classic Belgian Waffles
Story updated
Belgian waffles trace to Brussels-style yeasted waffles that gained international fame after being showcased at the 1958 Brussels World's Fair and the 1964 New York World's Fair, where vendors added whipped cream and fruit. Their deep pockets and light, crisp texture set them apart from thinner American waffles.
