In a place called Gouda in the Netherlands in 1784, a baker was reluctant to waste the little bread crumbs and biscuit crumbs left in the shop. So he kneaded the stuff together with some leftover cinnamon to make waffles and added syrup to them. In this way, waffles were born in a waste utilization.
Waffles are a kind of scone, also known as lattice cakes and checkered cakes. Waffles are made in an oven equipped with a special baking tray. Because the grids in the baking pan are generally diamond-shaped or square, the baked waffles also have beautiful grids.

Here's the recipe for making waffles:
Ingredients: 2 eggs, low-gluten flour, cornstarch, baking powder, milk, corn oil, and sugar.
Practice:
1. Separate the egg white and egg yolk, and put the egg yolk aside for later use;
2. Pour the sugar into the egg white 2 times, and use an electric egg beater to beat at high speed. When the protein paste appears shiny and the lines become more and more obvious, turn off the egg beater;
3. Pour 2 egg yolks into the egg white batter, and beat with an electric egg beater at medium speed for 1 minute, so that the egg yolks are completely mixed into the protein batter;
4. Pour the milk and corn oil into a bowl and beat evenly with an egg beater. Pour the milk-corn oil mixture into the custard, and stir evenly with a spatula;
5. Mix low-gluten flour, cornstarch, and baking powder, and sift them into the milk custard;
6. Use a spatula to stir up and down evenly; at the same time, preheat the waffle machine for 3 minutes;
7. The mixed batter has no dry powder and lumps, scoop an appropriate amount of batter into the waffle pan, close the lid, and heat for 3 minutes;
