▢1 3/4 cups milk ▢1/2 cup butter cut into pieces ▢2 eggs ▢1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract ▢2 cups all-purpose flour ▢1 tbsp baking powder ▢1/2 tsp salt
STEP-1
Add the milk and butter to a measuring cup and heat in the microwave for 60-90 seconds at high power, until the butter is nearly melted.
STEP-2
Pour the milk mixture into a large bowl. Whisk in the eggs and vanilla, until combined.
STEP-3
Add the flour, baking powder, and salt, and mix until just combined (small lumps are ok). Let sit 5 minutes. While the batter is resting, preheat a waffle iron and grease if necessary.
STEP-4
Pour the batter into the hot waffle iron and cook according the waffle maker's directions. (For my waffle iron, one cup of batter cooked for 4½ minutes was perfect.)
STEP-5
To make the cream cheese topping, whisk together the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla. To make the cinnamon topping, whisk together the brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon.
STEP-6
Drizzle the cream cheese topping and the cinnamon topping over the waffles
