this day is also named Marie bebådelsedag - Annunciation Day in our calender, originally known as Vårfrudagen - Lady Day in Sweden. And because the Swedish word Vårfru and the Swedish word våffla (waffle) sound almost the same, with time Vårfrudagen slowly changed into Våffeldagen.
The Swedish waffles are thinner than their Belgian counterparts, and are lovely with just a little sugar or lashings of cream and strawberry jam.
