For the Waffles
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups warm milk
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Cinnamon Topping
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
For the Cream Cheese Topping
  • 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 3 ounce cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Equipment

  • Waffle iron
  • Large bowl
  • Medium bowl
  • Small bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, white sugar, baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt. In another bowl, beat together the warm milk, 1/3 cup of melted butter, eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir until the batter is lumpy and just moistened.
  3. Ladle batter into the preheated waffle iron. Cook in batches if necessary until golden brown and the iron stops steaming, about 5 minutes per waffle.
  4. To make the cinnamon topping, stir together the brown sugar, 1/2 cup of melted butter, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  5. To make the cream cheese topping, beat together the confectioners' sugar, cream cheese, 1/4 cup of softened butter, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/8 teaspoon of salt in a medium bowl.
  6. Place the waffles on a plate and drizzle with the cinnamon mixture and cream cheese mixture.
