Pancake and Waffle Haus
Netherlands
During the winter in the Netherlands, locals savor poffertjes—delightful mini puffed pancakes. Cooked on brass plates with small indentations, these little treats are greased with oil and served with butter and sugar, making them a beloved staple at restaurants and fairs.
Croffle, a fusion of croissant and waffle from Ireland, offers a unique blend of buttery, flaky, and chewy textures, often enjoyed with ice cream or maple syrup.
Affogato, an Italian invention, features a scoop of ice cream "drowned" in espresso, creating a warm and cold dessert-beverage combo that's perfect for winter.
