[[Image:Waffles.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Waffles in [[France]]]]A '''waffle''' is a food similar in scope and function to a [[pancake]]. A basic waffle consists of mixing flour, eggs, water, and milk into a paste, which is then poured into a [[waffle iron]], which cooks the mixture and provides the necessary texture. Waffles can be jazzed up with varying fruits, incorporated directly into the mixture. Waffles are traditionally topped with [[butter]] and [[maple syrup]].[[categoryCategory:Food and Drink]]
