Unrelated, but as a Hungarian, this association of waffles with syrup is so odd to see. Syrup is basically just sugar and water, isn’t it? Sounds pretty boring. As a kid we always put nutella on waffles 🤷
Good point. Pesky square-cube law gets me again. Having done three minutes of research on Wikipedia pages I didn’t fully understand, I think changing the square divots to spherical ones will give us the smallest surface area-to-volume ratio.
Decrease the size of the squares and you could get waaaay more surface area.
It’s really volume you care about, for filling with syrup.

We don’t put plain sugar syrup on waffles, we use maple syrup or sometimes a fruit syrup such as blueberry. Maple syrup has a very distinctive flavor.
I checked out your link: this home made syrup is interesting but I’ve never heard of anyone doing this.
thanks, that’s reassuring to know :D maple syrup is good, but imho nutella is better :9
I can imagine that being really good! Hazelnut is under appreciated in the US.
