[Answer] Where did contemporary waffles originate?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question " Where did contemporary waffles originate? "

...

A waffle is a dish made from leavened batter or dough that is cooked between two plates that are patterned to give a characteristic size, shape, and surface impression.

In the late 14th century, the first known waffle recipe was penned in an anonymous manuscript, Le Ménagier de Paris, written by a husband as a set of instructions to his young wife. But 'Groote Wafelen' from the Belgian cookbook was published as the first recipe to use leavening (beer yeast): Groote Wafelen, in its use of leavening, was the genesis of contemporary waffles and validates the use of deeper irons (wafelijzers) depicted in the Beuckelaer and Bruegel paintings of the time.

By the 16th century, paintings by Joachim de Beuckelaer, Pieter Aertsen and Pieter Bruegel clearly depict the modern waffle form. Bruegel's work, in particular, not only shows waffles being cooked, but fine detail of individual waffles. In those instances, the waffle pattern can be counted as a large 12x7 grid, with cleanly squared sides, suggesting the use of a fairly thin batter, akin to contemporary Brussels waffles.

By the mid-16th century, there were signs of waffles' mounting French popularity. By the dawn of the 18th century, expansion of Caribbean plantations had cut sugar prices in half and waffle recipes abounded and were becoming decadent in their use of sugar.

In the 18th century the word "waffle" first appeared in the English language.
