Warm, syrupy nectar from the fruit compote seeps into the wafflesfor a touch of sweetness. A dollop of creme fraiche blended with confectioners' sugar adds another layer of texture and taste.

The History of Waffles
Waffles date back to ancient Greece, where they were called "obelios" and were cooked between two metal plates. In the Middle Ages, waffles were known as "gaufres" and were made from grains, eggs, and honey. The word "waffle" originated in the Netherlands, where they were made with a special iron that had a honeycomb pattern.Ingredients for Apricot Waffles

- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
