Ingredients
Scale
- Waffle Batter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Cinnamon Swirl
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- Cream Cheese Drizzle
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Appliance: Preheat the waffle iron according to manufacturer’s guidance.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Incorporate Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined; avoid overmixing.
- Prepare Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, blend melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Transfer to a piping bag or zip-top bag with a corner snipped.
- Pour and Swirl Batter: Lightly grease the waffle iron. Pour about 1/2 cup of batter into the center, then pipe a spiral of the cinnamon mixture onto the batter. Close and cook until golden and crisp, approximately 3–4 minutes per waffle. Repeat until all batter and swirl are used.
- Make Cream Cheese Drizzle: In a bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla, mixing until the glaze is pourable.
- Serve: Serve waffles warm, generously drizzling with the cream cheese topping.
Notes
- Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
- Leftover waffles can be frozen and reheated later.
- Add nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for an extra twist.
