The waffles shouldn't be dry. Decrease the flour a bit or add a little
melted butter to the batter before cooking.

Never had syrup on a single waffle I ever ate in Belgium, so it's not
essential.

Any fruit puree, stewed fruit pieces, fresh berries in season and of
course the occasional dollop of whipped cream (the real stuff!) or
custard sauce. It's easy enough to control the sugar levels for the kid.
