Egg waffles have been around in Hong Kong since the 50s. At that time, there were many cracked eggs in grocery stores that could not be sold, because they did not want to waste them in vain, so some people had the whimsical idea of adding flour and butter to make egg mixture, and then pouring it into molds and baking. Later, someone designed a mold in the shape of an egg, and the egg waffle was born.
Although the source is difficult to verify, the popularity of egg waffles has always been high, and eggs, flour, evaporated milk and sugar can be blended in more than a dozen flavors. It seems like a simple dessert, but the process behind it is not missing.

If you let it cool before eating, the taste will be greatly reduced.
