When I was young, I thought of Belgian waffles as a special food exclusive to diners and restaurants. This is because, despite my mother being an excellent cook and baker, the only waffles we had at home were store-bought, pop-in-the-toaster frozen waffles. As I got older, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that classic waffles (and, specifically, extra-thick, fluffy Belgian waffles) are not hard to make and, besides needing a waffle maker, don’t even require specialty ingredients.
