What is? (History/Background)

Historians date back waffles to ancient Greece – where cooks and chefs roast flat cakes in between  metal attached to wooden handles. These ancient waffles are not as sweet as the modern pastry has.  They were similar to unleavened pieces of bread made by the catholic priest to be given to the poor.

As time went by, spices and other ingredients were added one by one to compliment the consumers'  demand and evolving tastebuds. From thin unleavened bread to thick flatbread was introduced in the  15th century. With the evolution of waffles in the 15th century, blacksmiths began forging rectangular  metal plates with a grid pattern to be used in shaping the waffles that we use up until today.
