Step 1

Preheat your waffle iron. Melt your butter and set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Stir with a whisk.

Step 3

In a separate glass bowl mix the wet ingredients: milk, eggs and vanilla (lightly mix until combined and set aside).

Step 4

Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix with the whisk, stopping when the ingredients are just combined and smooth (Do not over mix).

Step 5

Now it is time to add the melted butter and stir again.

Step 6

Lightly spray your iron with cooking spray. Following your waffle iron directions. Add the batter, close the lid and cook until browned and crisp. Serve your the waffles immediately with maple syrup and fresh berries (I like a heart shaped strawberry for Valentine’s Day).

NJAPP Tip: This recipe can easily be used for pancakes too! I would just double the recipe and freeze the leftovers (if there are any).
