There's nothing like waking up to the smell of freshly made waffles. Making waffles is like making pancakes, you never make enough and if on top of that they are a different flavor then it's one of the best ways to start the day, although I'll tell you that at home they're liked just as much in the morning as in the afternoon.

Today we offer you another easy waffle recipe, but this time made with corn flour (which you can substitute with gluten-free flour to make gluten-free waffles). We suggest pairing it with a blueberry jam that adds contrast and flavor. Delicious waffles for breakfast!

I have always enjoyed making desserts, desserts with history like these traditional frisuelos that are made in Asturias and whose recipe has been passed down from parents to children time and time again.

Today is Crêpe Day and Miriam, the Winter Guest, brings us what the French call galette complète: a crêpe with cheese, ham and egg. An explosive combination to delight your loved ones with a truly Breton dinner. Happy day!

A few days ago we brought you some basic waffle recipes. Beatriz, author of To Be Gourmet, has already used her waffle iron, and brings us a new recipe you're going to love: traditional Belgian waffles served with chocolate and mango. How many times will you want to have this for breakfast?

Today I'll make your mouth water, because I want to talk to you about making waffles! I'm convinced that most of you have tried them at least once, since they're a temptation wherever you see them. Today you'll see how easy it is to make them at home (although it's true you need the right utensil), and be inspired to pair them with the most tempting ingredients.

French tradition says that on February 2nd crêpes should be prepared. They can be sweet or savory, but when making them the crêpes must be flipped with one hand while two coins are held in the other. Those two coins are wrapped in the crêpe and kept that way for an entire year, and the next year the coins are given to the poor.

Surely many of you have heard of the traditional American pancakes, although here we usually refer to them as tortitas or panqueques. They are a kind of flat, sweet bread, or you can also think of them as a small-diameter, thicker crêpe.
