Is it conceivable we are in the middle of
the Jaffle evolution or are they just being rediscovered? It is now possible to
get a variety of modern version of the old classic toasted sandwich “the
jaffle” in many Australian cafés and restaurants. The classic “jaffle”
originated is Australia and South Afrika and is a simple combination of eatable
ingredients positioned between two pieces of bread placed in the jaffle iron. After
being toasted for a few minutes, a golden closed sandwich is warm and ready to
eat. It can only be a jaffle if the edges are sealed and the bread is forming a
pocket around the ingredients.
Most people in Australia has a jaffle iron
with them going camping and I am told that a baked bean jaffle is the most
commonly eaten around campsites. These old fashioned irons are clamped together
and placed in the campfire.
It has been possible for years to buy electrical
jaffle makers since 1974 to make your own Jaffles at home or in the cafés and
restaurants. These machines are available in many electrical stores or online
with a price range between 15.00 and 140.00 A$. Here is a picture of my little
jaffle maker.
Here are some ideas for jaffle fillings

Bolognaise
