Ingredients

For the Syrup:

  • 1 cup dark brown sugar provides a deep, molasses-like flavor
  • 2 tablespoons milk adds creaminess to the syrup
  • 1 tablespoon water helps to dissolve the sugar
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter enhances the flavor of the syrup

For the Waffles:

  • 1/2 cup butter melted, for the waffle batter
  • 1 cup full-fat milk lends moisture and richness
  • 1 cup water balances the moisture in the batter
  • 1 ½ cups plain flour the base for the waffles
  • 1 tablespoon sugar a touch of sweetness in the batter
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder essential for fluffiness
  • ½ teaspoon salt enhances flavors in both waffles and syrup

Instructions

Preparation Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, combine the dark brown sugar, milk, water, and salted butter. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • While the syrup cools, preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the full-fat milk, water, and eggs. Melt the stick of butter and add it to the wet mixture, whisking until well combined.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the plain flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and gently mix until just combined. A few lumps are fine.
  • Lightly grease the waffle maker if necessary. Pour the batter into the preheated waffle maker and cook according to your waffle maker's instructions, usually about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Once the waffles are cooked, carefully remove them and drizzle with the warm brown sugar butter syrup.

  • Mixing bowls

Notes

  • Ensure your waffle maker is fully preheated for optimal crispiness.
  • Do not overmix the batter; it's okay if it’s slightly lumpy.
  • Keep cooked waffles warm in a low oven while finishing the rest.
