AUG 24, 26.. WAFFLE DAY..
Yes indeed! This NATIONAL TODAY Holiday comes very close to being a “No Brainer” for Patti and me.
National Waffle Day celebrates this iconic, versatile breakfast staple every August 24th.
Patti and I both love waffles and our local Anchorage International House of Pancakes, (IHOP).
We love pancakes too, but did not have any on this visit!
Cornelius Swartwout, a New Yorker, is credited with inventing the first patented waffle iron in the United States on August 24, 1869.
His invention revolutionized waffle making, moving it from stovetop griddles to a dedicated, hinged appliance.
The contemporary waffles we enjoy today hail from France and Belgium.
Earlier versions of the waffle, made of grain flour and water, date back to Ancient Greece.

Belgian or American?
Belgian waffles are typically larger, thicker, and have deeper pockets, making them ideal for holding toppings. They are often made with a lighter, yeast-leavened batter.
American waffles are usually thinner, denser, and use baking powder as a leavening agent.
