These two kinds of waffles are both sweet and delicious breakfast items, but have a few distinct differences. First, Belgian waffles are made with yeasted dough, which gives them a very thick texture. Second, their pockets are extra deep, which is perfect for holding fresh fruit, syrup, chocolate sauce, and more sweet toppings. Buttermilk waffles, with their subtle tangy flavor and fluffy texture, are easier to make and look just like classic waffles. Their pockets aren’t as deep, but are still excellent at holding the toppings you love.
