Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically about 5 minutes. Lightly grease with cooking spray or melted butter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and cinnamon until evenly blended.
  3. In another bowl, crack the eggs, and whisk them with warm milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, gently folding with a spatula until just combined. Set the batter aside.
  5. Carefully ladle the batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.
  6. Remove the waffles from the iron, brush with melted butter, and roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture while warm.
  7. Serve warm with your favorite toppings like whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
