  3. Rita: Gaufre de Flandres

Rita: Gaufre de Flandres

The 'Rita' are the very thin and soft waffles, filled with the taste of vanilla, vergeoise, chocolate or caramel. Specialty of the north of France, it is a true return in childhood for some.

The roots of the wafer of Flanders date back to the Franks, who cooked them on the fire between two hot irons. The idea of drawing a grid on one side of the iron gave the name of waffle, a frank word meaning "honeycomb". The first filled waffles appeared during the 19th century. Originally, they contained a mixture of butter and honey, then butter and brown sugar. During this time, Flanders was divided into three parts (Holland, Belgium, France). Each region has created its own specialty: with or without yeast, Brussels waffle, Liège, etc. The filled waffle has become a specialty of the north of France and Belgium.
