# What you'll need:
→ Waffle Batter
01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 1 tablespoon baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
05 - 1 1/2 cups whole milk
06 - 2 large eggs
07 - 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
08 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Cinnamon Sugar Coating
09 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
10 - 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
11 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)
# Directions:
01 - Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions to ensure even cooking.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk the whole milk, eggs, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
04 - Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing to maintain waffle fluffiness.
05 - Lightly grease the waffle iron. Pour batter onto the center and cook each waffle for 3 to 5 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
06 - Brush both sides of the hot waffles generously with melted unsalted butter to enhance flavor and texture.
07 - Combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow dish. Dredge each buttered waffle thoroughly in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
08 - Serve immediately, optionally accompanied by chocolate sauce, whipped cream, fresh berries, or a drizzle of dulce de leche.
