    I am excited to share this cinnamon sugar waffle recipe with you today. The classic snickerdoodle cookie is the inspiration behind the recipe. If you don't know what a snickerdoodle cookie is it is a sugar cookie that is dusted with a mixture of sugar and cinnamon and then baked. Our waffles use the same sugar cinnamon mixture, but the mixture is sprinkled on the waffles after they are cooked, while the waffles are still piping hot. The mixture then melts into the surface of the waffle and forms a delicious sugar and cinnamon crust.

    Buttermilk waffles being sprinkled with cinnamon sugar mixture

    🥣 Equipment

    This recipe does not require an electric mixer, but it does help to use one to thoroughly beat the wet ingredients. This step is important to help the waffles to fluff up. You can also do this by hand with a wire whisk.

    • Waffle Iron
    • Handheld or Stand Electric Mixer (optional)
    • One Medium and One Large Mixing Bowl

    🥘 Ingredients

    I highly recommend that you use buttermilk because it will help your waffles to rise better. If you do not have buttermilk on hand, Lauren from Tastes Better from Scratch has a handy guide for making your own buttermilk using regular milk.

    • 13/4 cup all-purpose flour
    • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
    • 2 teaspoons Cream of Tartar
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1-¾ cup buttermilk
    • ½ cup butter melted and cooled to room temperature
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    📋 Instructions

    Step 1. In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.

    Step 2. In a medium mixing bowl, sift dry ingredients together.

    Step 3. In a separate large bowl combine the wet ingredients.

    Step 4. Using a handheld mixer, beat the eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla until frothy, about two minutes on high speed.

    Wet ingredients unstirred in a glass bowl and wet ingredients in a glass bowl with frothy bubbles.

    Step 5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until nearly smooth. Do not overstir.

    Step 6. Mixture should be thick but still easily spreadable. A few remaining lumps are okay.

    Step 7. Add about 1 to 11/2 cup batter to waffle iron and cook for about 4 minutes.

    Step 8. Dust with cinnamon sugar mixture while waffles are still hot.

    🌡️ Storage and Reheating

    Store any leftovers in an airtight container or food storage bag. Store as follows:

    • In the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
    • In the freezer for up to 3 months.

    They can be reheated in the microwave, toaster, or oven.
