Cinnamon Roll Waffles

I have been running into these guys a little here and there on social media and I finally found a recipe in which you make your own cinnamon rolls. Several of the recipes I found online are not really recipes because you are using packaged raw cinnamon rolls then turning them into waffles. To me this is more of an instruction rather than a recipe. The recipe below is bound to be crowd pleasure when you serve up breakfast on the weekend.

Waffles

• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 2 Tbsp sugar
• 1 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
• 3 Tbsp butter, melted
• Filling:
• 2/3 cup brown sugar
• 1 Tbsp cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 2 Tbsp butter, melted

Icing

• 2/3 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tsp butter, melted
• 1/4 tsp almond extract (or vanilla)
• 2-3 tsp buttermilk (or milk)

Directions

1. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl.

2. Mix together the buttermilk and melted butter, pour into the dry ingredients. Stir lightly till just combined. Dough will be sticky.

3. Generously flour your counter top, and roll or pat into a rectangle that is about 12″ x 9″.

4. Combine all the filling ingredients in a small bowl. Spread evenly over the dough.

5. Roll up lengthwise and pinch to seal the seam.

6. Cut into 2-3″ slices, and place on a hot waffle iron that has been brushed with oil. Press down firmly for a few seconds.

7. Cook for about 2 minutes or till golden brown.

8. Whisk together the icing ingredients and drizzle over hot waffles.
