The differences to help you choose.

Waffles are lighter and softer than pancakes due to the addition of eggs and the way the egg whites are beaten separately. And they have a crispier exterior appearance than pancakes. Waffles are cooked using a waffle iron, while the pancakes are cooked in the pan or on the grill.

Pancakes and waffles, a little history…

A sweet smell, a golden and crispy color... We have all enjoyed a waffle and a pancake at some point in our lives, At the seaside, when we were children, at the fair, or in the Christmas markets (and now at Coco Lodge Majunga) !

But do we know the origins of these delicious treats? ?

Since when do we eat pancakes? ?

Historians establish the origin of pancakes 7000 before Jesus Christ … At this time, it was a fairly thick pancake, made with a paste mixing water and various crushed cereals. A flat stone, very hot, allowed cooking.

In Brittany, it was in the 13th century that the crepe made its appearance. And buckwheat, reported in France after the crusades in Asia, allowed us to make this thin layer of dough, round shape.

The ancients said : “The next time you fry pancakes in your frying pan or crepe maker, place a coin in your hand. » – Prosperity assured, for the rest of the year... (Source)

And the waffle ?

The origin of the waffle dates back to the 14th century. The word waffle comes from “walfre”. It means “honeycomb” in old French..

When Belgian villagers celebrated the harvest, its appearance depended on the wealth of the village. They enjoyed the waffle for Mardi Gras and the New Year. But these waffles were far from resembling the ones we eat today ! In its composition there was only basic flour and water, they could sometimes even replace bread.

It was only from the 18th century that the waffle was enriched with honey., of eggs and milk for the consumption of the wealthier classes.

The waffle recipe was subsequently taken up by different countries and readapted according to their customs..

Over time they have become a regional specialty, particularly in the north of France and Belgium where they exist with many variations such as the famous Liège waffle..
