National Waffle Day

It’s National Waffle Day! On this day in 1968, the first U.S. waffle iron was patented. These fluffy delights pair excellently with almost any topping. Butter and maple syrup, fruit and whipped cream, or even a big scoop of ice cream—the choice is yours!

Did you know that the first waffles ever cooked were in Ancient Greece? It’s true! The Greeks would cook flat cakes called “obelios” between two metal pans over a fire. Today, all you need is a waffle iron to make your own delicious waffles!

Traditionally, waffles are served at breakfast. However, there are so many ways to enjoy them that you could eat waffles at any time of day. Chicken and waffles and corn waffles are just two examples of the numerous savory varieties that exist. Hit your local diner or heat up your waffle iron today to enjoy National Waffle Day!
