• Mix Dry Ingredients:
  • In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, salt, cinnamon powder (if using), sugar, and baking powder. Whisk well and set aside.
  • Preheat the waffle pan or waffle maker.
• Mix Wet Ingredients:
  • Heat milk in a saucepan on medium-low heat until hot but not boiling (steam should appear). Stir occasionally.
  • Add unsalted butter to the hot milk and mix well until melted.
  • Stir in vanilla extract and mix thoroughly.
• Prepare the Batter:
  • Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently whisk to combine into a smooth, pourable batter.
  • If the batter is thick, add ¼ to ⅓ cup more hot milk. If too thin, add a few tablespoons of wheat flour.
• Make the Waffles:
  • Brush the waffle plates with softened butter.
  • Pour ⅓ to ½ cup of batter onto the waffle plates, spreading evenly.
  • Close the waffle maker and cook for 7-8 minutes or until the waffles are crisp and golden.
  • Remove the waffles gently with a wooden spatula. Repeat the process, brushing butter on the plates before each batch.
• Serve:
  • Serve the waffles hot or warm with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fresh fruits, or whipped cream.
