June 29th is National Waffle Iron Day. Waffle irons were originally a long handled device consisting of two metal plates held together by a hinge. One side was heated at a time, so knowing the right moment to turn the waffle iron was a skill acquired through trial and error. Here is how to Celebrate National Waffle Iron Day.
National Waffle Iron Day is an important date on the calendar of every true breakfast lover! After all, homemade waffles are a morning time staple. Waffle irons make the preparation of these fluffy favorites easy. Just prepare the batter, pour it into the machine and voilà! You’ll have delicious, golden-brown waffles in minutes.
The earliest waffle iron is said to have been made in the 14th century in what is now Belgium and its surrounding areas. However, it wasn’t until 1869 that Cornelius Swarthout patented the American waffle iron. Then in 1911, General Electric produced the first electric waffle iron. This innovation helped increase the contraption’s popularity. Now, waffle irons are used in homes across the country.
When you make your waffle, don’t forget the toppings! Syrup, whipped cream, fruit, chocolate and even fried chicken can finish off your masterpiece perfectly. Pick your favorite and celebrate National Waffle Iron Day.
