Wow, I managed to miss National Waffle Day – ( National Waffle Day was Wednesday, Aug. 24) and I love waffles. So in light of my omission, I am featuring a day late but a day closer to the weekend in hopes I can inspire you to either make waffles or head out to your favorite place to enjoy some waffles this weekend.
Finlandia Cheese has provided a really interesting study and infographic to give a bit of back-story to the beloved waffle: “The World’s Most Buttery, Tasty, Zany, Brainy Waffle Study.”
According to popular butter and cheese producer Finlandia Cheese (company link) there’s no more waffling… people from all corners of the United States love their waffles buttered (and with syrup—but we already knew that).
In case you don’t know about waffles, here’s a bit of information courtesy of National Day Calendar (like for Waffle Day etc)
Eaten throughout the world, a waffle is a leavened batter or dough that is cooked between two plates that are patterned to give a characteristic size, shape and surface impression. Waffles come in many forms. Depending on the type of batter or iron used, the resulting waffle vary by consistency, size, shape and flavor.
Waffles have a variety of presentations around the globe, so you can be creative if you happen to want to mix up some batter! For those who want to make it from scratch or from a mix, try Finlandia Butter and Cheese!
