Ingredients:

Waffle Ingredients:

• 2 cups All Purpose Flour
• 2 tsp Baking Powder
• 2 tbsp Sugar
• ¼ tsp Salt
• 2 Large Eggs
• ½ tsp Vanilla extract
• 4 tbsp Unsalted Butter, melted
• 1 ¾ cups Milk
• Cooking Spray

Maple Cream Syrup Ingredients:

• ½ cup Butter, softened
• ½ cup Powdered Sugar
• 4 oz. Cream Cheese, softened
• ¼ cup Maple Syrup
• ¼ cup Pecans, chopped

Waffles:

This is my favorite waffle recipe, and it is so simple to make.

In a large bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt) to make a flour mixture.

Create a well in the center of your dry ingredients and add the wet ingredients.

Stir until the waffle batter is fully combined, and cook in a waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions (all waffle irons are a bit different!).

Maple Cream Sauce:

Whether you call this a syrup, or a sauce, it is the star of the show when it comes to waffles and pancakes!

Place all of the Maple Cream ingredients into a microwave-safe bowl.

Stir everything together with a fork or spatula until well combined. It will be thick.

When the waffles are hot and ready, place the bowl of sauce in the microwave for 30 seconds.  

Stir, then cook another 30 seconds. You want the sauce hot and completely melted.

Pour the maple cream syrup over your waffles and top with a few more pecans.
