Antique Belgian Waffle Maker Restoration - I'm Making Flemish Waffles for You!
In this video, I will restore an antique waffle maker forgotten by people and time. The waffle maker was extraordinarily rusty and quite tricky to restore. It Is over 100 years old and was made in Belgium. Many cultures, such as Polish, French, and Slovaks, used waffle machines, and Italians called it pizzelle or galettes instead of waffles. I love this object, and when I saw it for the first time, I knew it would make a great restoration video and deserve to be restored and preserved. It was bought at the flea market for 30$. After cleaning and seasoning the cast iron with canola oil, I'm satisfied with how it turned out. The restoration process went well, and I had the chance to experiment with new things, especially the waffles I made after an old traditional flemish recipe. They were delicious! Trust me! Do you like waffles?
It was like a trip back in time using this old waffle maker.
If you enjoyed the video and my work, please don't forget to subscribe to avoid missing my new restoration projects. Cheers!

It is not waffler but Christmas offeringmaker = Vianocny oblatkovac. If you will not make dough more milky/watery you will destroy it. See here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/i6CXvJOThbPKmJc.html
Well, I am Flemish, born in 1947. What you are making there are NOT waffles (wafels) but some kind of "galette". A waffle is rather thick, and very airy and light.

Yes, galettes! My parents bought a similar galette maker at an antique shop in Belgium in the mid 60's. My maternal grandmother was Belgian (Walloon not Flemish). We used it for many years to make our family christmas cookies. We now have an electric one.

In Germany we make thin round Waffles only at Advent and Christmas Time . They are named "Eiserkuchen" or " Hörnchen ". The "Hörnchen" looks like a Icecream cone. Filling with sweet cream they are very delicious.

This is a very beautiful iron and you did a great job bringing it back to life! I think the confusion regarding the recipe you used might be based in a classic case of 'lost in translation' as waf(f)el means different kinds of baked goods depending on region and recipe. So the iron you have would probably rather be used for wafels you'd call wafers in English, like stroopwafels or other thin and crispy ones. The fluffy wafel that your recipe probably was supposed to create, would be cooked in a deeper iron. Either way, the result still looked delicious!

I grew up eating and calling thin “waffles”, such as that iron would make, pizzelles. My mother would make them from scratch just like her mother did. ♥️
Another magnificent restoration with a tasty finish! A word of advice: never tell a Belgian you're using a waffle recipe other than Liégeoise; they might bite you!
I really love the patterns on this waffle iron! I also like the use of googly eyes on things. It gave me a chuckle.
