A delightful twist on classic waffles, featuring a cinnamon swirl and a creamy topping.
Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl.
Sift the dry ingredients for a smoother batter.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and melted butter.
Ensure the melted butter is not too hot to avoid cooking the eggs.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Preheat the waffle iron and grease it lightly. Pour the batter into the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Use a ladle to pour the batter evenly onto the waffle iron.
Mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and softened butter in a bowl. Transfer to a piping bag.
Warm the mixture slightly if it's too thick to pipe.
Microwave the cream cheese and butter until softened. Stir in powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.
Whisk thoroughly to remove any lumps for a smooth topping.
Drizzle the cinnamon swirl over the cooked waffles, followed by the cream cheese topping. Serve immediately.
Serve the waffles warm for the best flavor and texture.
