Today, March 11, 2014, is National Oatmeal-nut Waffle Day. A waffle is a leavened batter or dough cooked between two plates, patterned to give a characteristic size, shape and surface impression. The word “waffle” first appears in the English language in 1725: "Waffles. Take flower, cream..." It is directly derived from the Dutch wafel, which itself derives from the Middle Dutch wafele. While the Middle Dutch wafele is first attested to at the end of the 13th century, it is preceded by the French walfre in 1185; both are considered to share the same Frankish etymological root wafla. Below is a recipe for Oatmeal-nut Waffles 2 cups quick oats 2½ cups water 3 tablespoons pecans ½ teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 teaspoons sweetener Blend all ingredients until smooth then pour into hot waffle iron and bake 15 minutes.
