Waffles are identified as one of the most popular and highly consumed breakfast products in the current western society. The iconic dish has a rich cultural history, dating back to the 15th and 16th centuries. Due to the popularity and the deep history this dish has established in the contemporary western society, various regions have developed their own recipes for the breakfast product. Waffles are basic batter based cake dishes which are cooked in the hot waffle iron utensils. The iconic shape of the dish is formulated due to the design of the cooking utensil utilized. The simple breakfast dish is very easy to make and has a light and delightful taste. The dish is usually consumed with side products such as butter honey and other complimentary products. One of the most important components of the waffle products is the crunchiness and the volume of the dish (Campbell & Mougeot, 1999). Since it is usually consumed primarily as a breakfast product the majority of the people prefer a very crunchy and light product, which they can adequately enjoy as their initial food intake.
The taste of the waffle is highly dependent on the various differences in the products used to make the batter, and they are primarily two types of waffle batter dishes. One dish is based on the yeast based recipes while the others are based on the baking soda. Both of these products are utilized to raise the waffle batter and help enhance the crunchiness and the lightness of the dish. In the traditional perspective the batter rising product of Yeats was predominantly utilized in the majority of the waffle recipes. However the baking soda based recipes are developed in the family recent times, and have also developed a substantial market among the western population.
