This recipe is from the "boerinnenbond kookboek", the "bible" cookbook of the Flemish farmers association. They are best served warm with icing sugar. The leftovers you can eat for breakfast the next day with jam on top. Store them overnight someplace cool covered with a towel.
We eat them as a wholesome meal but you can also serve them as a dessert. In that case use a waffle iron with a bigger grid and use whipped cream, ice cream and warm cherry sauce as topping.
