Grandmas Waffles

Perhaps grandmas waffles isn't the right naming knowing there are many of them. Each with their own ingredients.

The Belgian waffles are my favorite, hands down. There's somewhat of a waffle culture in Belgium offering plenty of variety. 

Among them Liège waffles, Brussels waffles, flash waffles and galettes. They're not only made with batter. Sugar waffles for example are made of a soft dough.
