Brussels | The Waffles Here Are Really Delicious

The waffles at Maison Dandoy really overturned my traditional impression of this food, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, without the grainy texture and sticky feeling of granulated sugar. 🍪✨ Be careful not to go to the wrong place, another shop only sells cookies without waffles. 🍪 Waffles (Waffle) originated in medieval Europe, especially closely related to the regions of Belgium and France. Here is a brief historical background: Origin and Development: 1. Early medieval period (around the 9th century): The earliest prototype of waffles appeared in monasteries, where two metal molds (similar to today's waffle molds) were used to press and bake fermented grain paste into thin cakes. These molds often had religious patterns and were used to celebrate religious holidays. 🎉 2. Around the 14th century: The French word "wafel" appeared (from which the modern English "waffle" evolved), becoming popular in France and the Low Countries (today's Belgium, the Netherlands). At that time, the recipe began to include honey, eggs, cheese, etc., and the taste gradually became richer. 🍯🥚🧀 3. Belgium and France: Belgium later developed several famous waffle varieties, such as Liège waffle and Brussels waffle, known for their rich caramel flavor and fluffy texture. 🍫🧇 France and Germany also have their own versions, such as galette and gaufre. 4. 19th century introduction to the United States: With the European immigration wave, waffles were introduced to the United States and quickly localized, for example, developing "American breakfast waffles," usually served with butter and maple syrup. 🍯 #Waffle #CoffeeShop #StoreVisit #ExperienceForeignCuisineTogether #DeliciousDessert #DessertLove
