How to Top Your Waffles

Freshly baked waffles are open to many topping possibilities.

Waffles are a popular sweet breakfast dish, made from cooking batter in a waffle iron. View waffles as a blank canvas ready for topping with a variety of toppings. Maple syrup does not have to be the only option - you can also add fruit or whipped cream. To take full advantage of the waffle's versatility, set out the toppings as a waffle bar for piling on your waffle at your discretion. Does this Spark an idea?
