About Waffle, plain
Waffles are batter cooked in a hinged iron that presses them into the familiar grid of deep pockets — pockets purpose-built to hold syrup, butter and fruit. Crisp on the outside and tender within, they are a beloved breakfast and brunch treat, from thin Belgian-style rounds to thick frozen toaster waffles.
A plain waffle is richer than a pancake, since the batter usually carries more fat and sugar, landing it around 373 calories per 100 grams. The flour provides the carbohydrate, with a little protein from egg and milk; the toppings are where most diners add the bulk of the calories.
Wholegrain waffles topped with fruit and a dollop of yogurt make a more balanced version, and a side of protein helps the meal stick. As a vehicle for syrup and butter, though, the plain waffle is squarely a treat.
