Cornelius Swarthout of New York received his patent for the waffle iron on Aug. 24, 1869, which made it possible for everyone to relish waffles. National Waffle Day is, therefore, celebrated every year on Aug. 24 to commemorate this moment in history.

Waffles are available in so many varieties — Belgium, Hong Kong, galettes – that can be enjoyed by adding toppings like chocolate, syrup and fruit.

Therefore, National Waffle Day gives people an opportunity to indulge in this iconic international breakfast treat that is enjoyed by all. So, visit a nearby restaurant for some fresh served waffles or try making one at home. You can also invite friends over for a waffle-making party.

In order to make waffles at home, you must preheat the waffle iron then melt butter in the microwave. Take a large bowl and combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Take another bowl and beat together milk and eggs. Whisk the liquid mixture into dry ingredients until just combined. Brush hot waffle iron with melted butter. Pour about 1/2 cup of batter onto iron and close to cook. Remove once it turns golden brown.
