Brussels waffles

Due to the use of yeast in the batter, Baking with Butter claims that the Brussels waffle is a particular variety of Belgian waffles. However, the narrow "Belgian waffle" designation is not accurate for the Brussels waffle. Billy Parisi says that unlike Belgian waffles, which are normally circular in shape, Brussels waffles are square in shape and have deep wells for powdered sugar and fillings. According to The Waffle Pantry, 4-by-6 pockets are more prevalent on Brussels-style waffles, however, 4-by-4 pockets are also popular. In addition, the Brussels waffle's square form and portability make it a favorite among street vendors in the capital city of Belgium.

You'll want to impress all of your brunch guests with this iron's sleek design, five browning settings, and a series of lights that show when the waffles are done cooking.
