Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer instructions. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, 1 tbsp baking powder, 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp salt until evenly combined.
Step 2: In a separate medium bowl, beat 1 large egg with 1 1/4 cups whole milk and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth. Slowly pour in 4 tbsp melted unsalted butter while whisking.
Step 3: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined; the batter should be slightly lumpy but without dry pockets.
Step 4: Lightly grease the hot waffle iron and pour about 1/2 cup batter per waffle. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until waffles are golden brown and crisp on the edges.
Step 5: Serve immediately with a dusting of powdered sugar and a side of maple syrup for dipping.
