Waffles are kind of a weekend-at-grandma’s food to me. Growing up when we would spend the weekend at our grandmother’s house (in a tiny town named Buffalo, MO). She would more often than not help us make waffles on Saturday morning for breakfast. To this day they were the best waffles I’ve ever had. Although that’s probably because at this point in my life those waffles are surrounded by memory haze/nostalgia.
Nostalgia makes everything taste better. Also, you can never live up to a nostalgic recipe no matter how hard you try. You’ve just gotta make new memories and cherish past experiences.Anyway, waffles. These are not as good as my grandma’s. No waffles ever will be. But these do taste like snickerdoodle cookies. (!!!!!!!) So, they at least have that going for them.
Snickerdoodle Waffles, makes 6-8 (depending on your waffle iron size).
1 2/3 cup flour
1 tablespoon baking powder (yes, a tablespoon. these are fluffy!)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
1/2 cup melted, then cooled butter
1 1/2 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup sugar + 1 tablespoon cinnamon for the topping
Combine the dry ingredients (the first four listed above). Whisk to combine.Pour in the eggs, milk and vanilla extract. Stir to combine. Then pour in the cooled butter (if the butter is still too hot it may begin to cook the eggs, creating weird curdled looking bits in your batter). Stir until nearly no lumps remain.
Heat up your waffle iron and use according to the manufacturer’s directions. I cooked about 1/3 cup of the batter at a time. While the first one cooks combine the sugar and cinnamon on a shallow plate. Dip the hot waffle in the mixture, coating both sides.These are quite sweet (with added sugar) so you may only need a little butter and fresh fruit for serving. But if you just gotta pour on the maple syrup, well, I won’t stop you. Enjoy! xo. Emma

I definitely was feeling the waffle bug this weekend too. It had been SO long since I’d had them. I’m usually up for making pancakes, and in my mind I think waffles are so much more labor-intensive. I guess that shows how lazy I am because the only labor in making them is pulling my iron out, and cleaning it when it’s done 😉 I’m glad I made a few batches (some for the freezer!) and it felt wonderful to have the nostalgic food I missed.
Cinnamon and sugar will have to be my next topping. These look beautiful!
These look sooo yummy. They combine two things I just happen to love!
I’m such a sweet tooth and I can’t resist trying to make this!
Thank you for sharing and congrats on making this blog so good!

It looks so delicious. I’ve never made them myself, so I’ll probably will after seeing these pics. I like the way you cut the strawberry (:
Sweet goodness I am so excited to try out this recipe! Waffles are my go-to winter breakfast of choice. Thanks for sharing, lovely!
The best tasting waffles I ever had were at my geandmother’s in Brooklyn. I still have her waffle iron. More for the memories.
I feel really deprived, would you believe I’ve never eaten a waffle!? We were all about the pancakes in my house….but these look delicious!!
