Sita Daavettila learned to make waffles while living in Belgium in high school.
Now, you can try her family recipe for Belgian waffles through her new company, Wyo Waffles. Daavettila started the company with her mother, Linda McInally, in May.
Operating out of Cowboy Coffee, Wyo Waffles offers fresh Belgian waffles to order. If you’ve never tried one, run — don’t walk — right now to get one.
The yeast dough, similar to the buttery dough of brioche, is made daily. And true to tradition, Wyo Waffles uses pearl sugar in its dough. As the waffles cook in the iron, the sugar crystals melt, caramelize and almost recrystallize. What results it’s a chewy dough with a light crunch.
“It’s so hard to describe,” Daavettila said.
Waffles are $3.50 and can be topped with Nutella, whipped cream or other toppings for 50 cents. Berries are $1.
What’s even better? Wyo Waffles can be hired to cook waffles to order for private events (I wish I had known this a few weeks ago when we threw a brunch baby shower). They’ll also sell the dough, which you can freeze and save to cook later. Wyo Waffles plans to explore a gluten-free option, too.
For ordering info, stop by Cowboy Coffee or email Daavettila at sita.mcinally@gmail.com.
