Waffles are a type of batter-based food typically cooked between two patterned plates that give them a characteristic grid-like appearance. They are usually crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside, with a slightly sweet and buttery flavor. Waffles can be served in a variety of ways, often with toppings like syrup, butter, fresh fruits, whipped cream, or even savory options like fried chicken, eggs, or cheese. The batter for waffles often includes flour, eggs, milk, and baking powder, which gives them their light and airy texture.

Waffles come in different styles depending on the region, such as Belgian waffles, which are thicker and often have deeper pockets, or traditional American waffles, which are usually thinner and crispier. They are commonly enjoyed as a breakfast or brunch item but can also be served as a dessert or even as part of a savory dish.
