Waffles & Not Just For Breakfast The earliest waffle irons originated in the Low Countries around the 14th century. These waffle irons were constructed of two hinged iron plates connected to two long, wooden handles. The plates were often made to imprint elaborate patterns on the waffle, including coat of arms, landscapes, or religious symbols. The waffles would be baked over the hearth fire. In my house waffles are the breakfast treat. I am not against pancakes but waffles are just more fun. They have little pools all over them. This can hold the butter & syrup so much better. I mean, you gotta love waffles. I use the recipe from The Progressive Farmer, SOUTHERN COUNTRY COOKBOOK. Sweet Milk Waffles (Sweet milk in contrast to buttermilk, which is just yogurt with out the sugar in a liquid form) My dad always asks for sweet milk when eating out. Kind of a game to watch the waitress scurrying to the kitchen to ask what is “sweet milk.” Page 54
